You dont actually give the size of the file, you give the size of the block you want to pull. For example: <?php $output = ""; // Clear output $url = "http://whatever.com/file.html";; // whatever you wanna pull from if ($fp = fopen($url, "r")) { while ($tmp = fget($fp, 4096)) $output .= $tmp; fclose($fp); } echo "The URL's content is: ".$output; ?> The "4096" part just means it will pull from the file pointer ($fp) in 4096 byte blocks (or chunks), and the while will keep pulling the chunks until there is nothing left to pull. -- Dan Hardiker [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] ADAM Software & Systems Engineer First Creative Ltd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
