"Of course you get strange results if you try to parse 2 bytes per time.." Please the whole text - the problem isn't that I parse 2 bytes per time - but my main problem is that same problem happens if I parse large XML files! If you parse huge files, you get same output error - and it does not matter if you use 2 bytes per time or 100000 (trust me I have tried it). How do I fix this problem - by NOT loading the whole file in the memory?? It seems to me that the problem is located in the php-xml-parse core.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Of course you get strange results if you try to parse 2 bytes per time.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-13 12:35:06] amix at amix dot dk Description: ------------ I am have made a script to parse the DMOZ RDF XML files. Which are HUGE (one is 500 MB and the other is 1.2 GB). The major problem I've got is that the XML parser outputs some bullshit when parsing those large files! The problem is how many bytes to read. I.e. this code: while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) Now I have fixed this problem by loading the whole file into the memory: while ($data = fread($fp, filesize($this->xml_file))) { It takes some minutes to loade the 500 MB file, but can't do that with the 1.2 GB file. Ok, now I have searched a big deal on google. I have looked on how other parse XML files - and all I have seen use fread (including some PEAR scripts etc.) I have also made an example which shows the code on a smaller scale. If you set fread to read 2 bytes per time - then it makes some weird output. Reproduce code: --------------- This example is taken from a book. <?php $currentTag = ""; $fields = array(); $values = array(); $xml_file="data.xml"; function startElementHandler($parser, $name, $attributes) { global $currentTag, $table; $currentTag = $name; if (strtolower($currentTag) == "table") { $table = $attributes["name"]; } } function endElementHandler($parser, $name) { global $fields, $values, $count, $currentTag; global $connection, $table; if (strtolower($name) == "record") { $query = "INSERT INTO $table"; $query .= "(" . join(", ", $fields) . ")"; $query .= " VALUES(\"" . join("\", \"", $values) . "\");"; echo "$query\n"; $fields = array(); $values = array(); $count = 0; $currentTag = ""; } } function characterDataHandler($parser, $data) { global $fields, $values, $currentTag, $count; if (trim($data) != "") { $fields[$count] = $currentTag; $values[$count] = mysql_escape_string($data); $count++; } } $xml_parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser,XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, TRUE); xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, FALSE); xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElementHandler", "endElementHandler"); xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterDataHandler"); if (!($fp = fopen($xml_file, "rb"))) { die("File I/O error: $xml_file"); } while ($data = fread($fp, 2)) { if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) { $ec = xml_get_error_code($xml_parser); die("XML parser error (error code " . $ec .
