I still don't like the patch, currently in CVS as it has some issues: // see if it's an absolute URL (has a scheme at the beginning) elseif (eregi('://', substr($fp, 0, 10))) { return $this->setInputFile($fp); Imagine an XML document like this: <a>ftp://pear.php.net</a> or: <ascii>://\\:</ascii> Although this looks silly, it will totally break the parsing of the XML string. I don't think that it's a good idea to let a script guess whether a string is a XML document or a URL. So I won't loose the $isFile parameter and start guessing what a user wants me to do. If you want to parse a file, tell me, if you want me to parse a file, URL, stream, whatever, then tell me. Stephan
