Take $ POST data and validate it at the W3C?

Validate data posted to my domain through the W3C?

I'd like to be able to validate CSS $_POST data posted to my site and have my server in turn send that $_POST data to the W3C validator to be validated and essentially let my server know if the user's original $_POST data is valid or not.

Is this a possible option with something I'm not aware of or would this start navigating me in to the spooky realm of site-scrapping?

I've been searching for examples or tutorials in combination with existing PHP code though frankly I see what I need though I'm lost as how to enter the door while staring straight at it in that odd programming sense.

What I'd like to do is simply forward the $_POST data sent from the client to my server to the W3C CSS validator API and I suppose using "SOAP" (which I'm not familiar with) determine if the data is valid or not.

...though without any examples I'm not sure how to even begin to approach this? I'll do some reading on SOAP though I'd appreciate suggestions on what I should concentrate on.
