PHP SOAP response to large

[jasonrichardsmith]

I have a soap client written up that works well on small requests, but on large ones I face out of memory issues.

 

I want to be able to write the response directly to a file as an xml document, so I can use something like xpath.

 

When I try this even on small responses it seems to go into a loop:

  $infile = $client->Retrieve($criteria);

  $outfile = fopen('./sites/all/modules/cvent/data.txt', 'w');

  while (!feof($infile)) {

    fwrite($outfile, fread($infile, 2048));

    }

 

how can I put the data into a file straight from the response and still be economical on memory?
