I am trying to strip all HTML and other tags from a document, I have read the docs and written a 4 line script that should do the job (from my point of view ! ). However it seems to have literally no effect. Heres the script : <? $file=readfile("http://namx.co.uk/webstats/");

$file is an array ...

Actually, it's an integer telling how many bytes was read by readfile(). us2.php.net/readfile

if (!($string = strip_tags($file))) print "<br> error ! <br>"; $strings = strtolower($string);

.. you're trying to perform string ops on an array.

you mean an integer... Use fopen() or file() to actually read the file data into a variable.

Indeed fopen and fread works fine. Thanks for the heads up Neil
