Question

Answer 1

You can use DOM

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->load('http://www.example.com');

This would load the XML from the remote URL. You can then process it as needed. See my previous answers on various topics using DOM. To save the file to your server after your processed it, you use

$dom->save('filename.xml');

Loading the file with $dom->load() will only work if you have allow_url_fopen enabled in your php.ini. If not, you have to use cURL to download the remote file first.
