What are the possible values of $file? Are you looking to replace just a
specific occurance of a $file between <item> tags? Maybe this will help:

$contents = preg_replace("|<item>[^<]*$file[^<]*</item>|si","",$contents);

or just use the 'U' modifier for "ungreedy"...



i'm looking to replace the entire <item>....</item> for that respective
file.

the file will have a value of whichever file that record points to, and will
be unique (xml/news/12312312.xml)

should .*? not be ungreedy tho?

Yeah, it should be. What kind on content can be around $file and also within the <item> tag?
