Craig, AFAIK you can't: fopen opens the file and leaves it up to you to read it a character or some other chunk at a time, keeping what you want, and leaving the rest. There is no concept of opening a file at a particular character position, other than to write-over or write-append. (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php)
