XML file validation using PHP

Question

I am using DOMDocument for xml file validation. It takes more than 30 minutes in validating a 67MB xml file. Is there any other way to improve this checking time?

Out of curiosity, what sort of XML file are you reading that's 67MB? I'm surprised PHP isn't running out of memory with a file that large. — Daniel

XML file contains our own internal data :) and PHP is not running out of memory. We have given plenty of memory to PHP and there is no such memory limit error. — Maximus

Have you tried XMLReader? I recall this one as being pretty decent, though I don't think I tested it on anything as large as 67 MB.

I tried but its not working. All its saying valid atleast DOMDocument detects errors. $xml = new XMLReader(); $xml->open("../output.xml"); if($xml->setSchema('../schema.xsd')) { if($xml->isValid()) { echo 'Valid'; } else { echo 'Not valid'; } } else { echo 'Failed to load xml schema'; }

try {
    libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
    $oXml = new SimpleXMLElement($sXml, LIBXML_DTDVALID);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    $aErrors = libxml_get_errors();
}
