Sure, that would be one way to implement option #1; or, as in the XML entry
in the PHP manual, paging through the file in 4k chunks (better if you're
parsing large files); but passing the url as a parameter instead of defining
it explicitly, ie
http://myserver/script.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwebsite.com%2Fdocument.xml
Or you could post the whole XML source to the script (this could be useful
for interactive testing of an XML-generating script); or you could upload an
XML file and have the script parse it (I'm really not sure how this would be
useful, but you could :-)
Also note, if you want to get XML back again, maybe you should look at the
XSLT functions.
