And in the non-efficient but extremely simple category: To strip out the
header data and run it through the parser, what about this:
//this has been tested to work, considering <?xml to be the data start
list($head,$body) =
preg_split("/(?=<\?xml)/m",join("",file("dump.xml")),2);
//from the docs, I believe this will work in one shot:
xml_parse(parser_resource,$body,1);
If your XML file is many thousands of lines long, this might not be
efficient enough. If it's a couple hundred, this may be the ticket.
