Re: best way to read a file

(actually, that's what I was saying, that they are -less- ambiguous, and more specific, but no big deal on that little matter).

and I think these functions being flexible enough to handle other resource types can hardly be seen as a disadvantage..

Every time I try to use one of these functions, I get an error message from my browser (not from PHP) that the attempt to load the URL failed. Is this a sign of running into memory problems? If so, what can I do about it? It seems that the only file-reading function that doesn't create this error message in my script is fgets(), but as soon as I try to implode the lines I pulled with fgets() into one string, I get the error message again. In other words, every time I try to pull my XSL file into my script, it happens. (I would not have imagined I would run out of memory b/c I have php.ini set to 16M per script and the XSL file is only 8kB, though the script does do a lot of things.) Anybody know what's going on here? Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H. Brown pricee@hhbrown.com
