I'd stop when it hits the ending </item> tag. Take a look at http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/phpxml.htm. For your case, in the EndHandler() function, put in the case 'ITEM' In that case, have the code process the data you've accumulated and exit. But, if you want to stick with your methodology, below, here's a possibility: if ((filemtime($rdffile) < $refreshtime) || (filesize($rdffile) == 0)) { $RDF = fopen( $rdffile, 'w' ) or die( "Cannot open $rdffile" ); $FILE = fopen( $remote, 'r' ) or die( "Cannot open $remote" ); while (!feof( $FILE )) { $Line = fgets( $FILE, 1024 ); fwrite( $RDF, $Line); if ( preg_match('/<\/item>/', $Line) ) { break; } } fclose( $RDF ); fclose( $FILE ); } -- PHP classes that make web design easier SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution sqlsolution.info | layoutsolution.info | formsolution.info T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Av #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
