Ah. It is a local file, I was just using an absolute reference for it.

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);

Thanks. I'll definitely give that a try. -- S. Keller UI Engineer The Health TV Channel, Inc. (a non - profit organization) 3820 Lake Otis Pkwy. Anchorage, AK 99508 907.770.6200 ext.220 907.336.6205 (fax) Email: skeller@healthtvchannel.org Web: www.healthtvchannel.org
