You can't stat() a remote file - filesize() only works with local filesystems.
However you do not need to know the size of the file to read it - simply do
it in chunks:
$dataFile = "http://www.healthtvchannel.org/courses/pay/data/test.xml";;
$fp = fopen($dataFile, "rb");
$strFile = null;
while ($chunk = fread($fp, 524288)) // 512 kB chunks modify as needed
$strFile .= $chunk;
fclose($fp);
