Thanks for the help. I made the assumption that all data from each page was being downloaded but it is not.
I do have one other question. I've used microtime() to test how long it takes to download each page and have noticed that some pages may take as long as 45 seconds to download!!! I know that this lag is out of my control as it is depends upon the status of the remote server. However, I would like to tell the script that if "x" amount of time has passed and the fopen() function is not complete then stop and move on. I've tried using while and if...else statements using microtime() as the timeout limit but I didn't have any success. What kind of flow control mechanism should I use for this??
