pcntl_fork?

Hi, I have written a script to parse a large amount of XML data and insert it into SQL... deals with approx 80,000 rows each time I run it. I cannot successfully complete this script without running out of memory. Is pcntl_fork suitable to overcome this? I have been playing with pcntl_fork and became completely stuck trying to select data from a database and spawn a new fork for each row. Later I'll have to use something like shmop so each child knows what row its working on, and will do a series of xml parsing based on supplied data.. a simple example of forking with a foreach this way would be appreciated Regards, Peter Hoskin
