Is there any way to use fread() or a similar function to read a section of a document NOT starting at the beginning... for example, I can read the first 1000 bytes of a document with fread($doc, 1000); Is there any way to read the second 1000 bytes? perhaps, fread($doc, 1000, 2000); who knows.... or would substr work? russ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
