fwrite and memory error

I'm trying to save an XML file sent to me in ZIP format.
Here is the code:
if($XMLFile=fopen($XMLPath.strtoupper(substr($file ,0,strlen($file)-4)).".XML",'w'))
if(fwrite($XMLFile,zip_entry_read($zip_entry,zip_e ntry_filesize($zip_entry)))){

here is the error:
Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (....)

The problem occurs on the "fwrite" function.

This appens when the XML file is very large (seems more than the 8mb limit).

I can't change this size server side, as my ISP doesn't allow me to do that.

Hot to fix the problem script side ???

Try not writing the entire zip at once, but do it a bit at a time so
there never has to exist a variable that is larger than 8 MB.

I've been looking around without finding a way to do so. Could you please
tell me how ?

The manual says that if you do not specify the size you want to read in
zip_entry_read then it will read 1024 bytes. Have you tried something
like this?

while($size < zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry)) {
fwrite($XMLFile,zip_entry_read($zip_entry));
$size += 1024;
}
