How are you using fread? Something like
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename)); Will read the whole thing into memory, which is not something you really want to do as previously noted Can you tell us a little more about the nature of the file? If its textual rows, with the \n character, then you'll be wanting to use fgets() to read one line at a time. If its xml, then look at the xml parsing functions.
