File_get_contents () unanswered - php

I am trying to call a webservice that basically looks like this:

http://10.10.10.10:8080/gw/someAction?amount=10&description='Some description'

      

        
        
        
      

    

So this is how I call this web service:

$endpoint = "http://10.10.10.10:8080/gw/someAction?amount=10&description='Some description'";

    $opts = array('http' =>
            array(
                    'method' => 'GET',
                    'header'  => 'Content-type: application/xml'
            )
    );

    $context  = stream_context_create( $opts );

    $result = file_get_contents( $endpoint, false, $context );
    $xml_result = simplexml_load_string( $result );
    echo $xml_result->success;

      

        
        
        
      

    

So I got nothing, xml_result is empty. And here's the fun part - when I remove the white space from the description:

 http://10.10.10.10:8080/gw/someAction?amount=10&description='Somedescription'

      

        
        
        
      

    

Everything is fine, I got a response from the web service. Also tried to call webservice with chrome rest client with space in description and everything is fine, I have an answer. So this leads me to some kind of PHP issue here with spaces in the web service. Please, help!

UPDATE:

print_r($result)

      

        
        
        
      

    

leads to
