I did look at the fopen option...but it just seemed a little longer and more complicated to do that plus according to this benchmark (http://force-elite.com/~chip/projects/php/benchmarks/file-vs-fgets/) using file_get_contents is upto 6 times faster (?) in some cases.. I think I'll stick with this, and specify that anybody running this code should have php 4.3.x or higher Most webhosts too I think will have a 4.3 or above version...if they are a good host anyway, or....not? I mean I have been running php on my desktop for months and have 4.3.1..
