Hey..
yeah I might..
I don't know if I am right or just blabbering crap
but try to add these param's to your regex statement..
preg_split("/\0/i", $buffer);
note the i.. It should let it read past newlines.. although you're prob is
with null (\0) chars..
as I said.. Don't know if I am on the right track.. but it's worth a go eh??
good luck..
