Parse live xml

[NuBBeR]

I have a site with statistics generated dynamically and output in XML. The actual URL filetype is php (.../stats.php?id=5512) but what I see when directly browsing to the URL is XML. Is there any way for me to parse live data like that? I do not have direct write access and it is a generated xml doc.

open it in the same way as local filename

$f = fopen('http://someserver.com/stats.php?id=5512', 'r');
