PHP open gzipped XML

Question

I am struggling to read gzipped xml files in php.

I did succeed in reading normal xml files, using XMLReader() like this:

$xml = new XMLReader();
$xm

Expanding on Pascal's post, here is some example code that should work for you

$xmlfile = fopen($linkToXmlFile,'rb');
$compressedXml = fread($xmlfile, filesize($linkToXmlFile));
fclose($xmlfile);
$uncompressedXml = gzdecode($compressedXml); 

$xml = new XMLReader();
$xml->xml($uncompressedXml);
