Open remote gzip XML file for use with SimpleXML

Question

I'm having trouble retrieving and decompressing a remote gzip XML file.

To get the file I'm using:

$url = 'http://www.domain.com/xml.gzip';
$linkToXmlFile = fopen("compress.zlib://$url", "r");

Then I've tried:

try {
    $xml = new SimpleXmlElement($rawFeed);
    ...
}

To no avail.

What doesn't work? What errors do you get, where does it fail exactly? — Pekka, Jan 22 '11 at 12:14
