Is there a hard limit to the size of the file you can load into the DOM using either of the above functions? I ask because I have a 5mb XML file I'm trying to load and both functions die when used. I've whittled the size down to about 1.5mb and both functions then work. It's not as if it's dying because the structure of the XML is invalid, since I am not altering the structure as I whittle it down. When my script runs, I can't check for any possible errors because the script dies *at*/*in* the load function. The nearest I can tell is that it's dieing because of memory issues. That for some reason, the size is too large for PHP to load into the DOM. When I load the file into XMLSpy, that applications mem usage in task manager (WinXP) is showing as 150k and my system bogs down alot. But even so, XMLSpy is loading it. The server that I am running my script on (only to die) is Windows 2003 running Apache 2 and has 1GB of RAM. And though I'll grant you that the server is also running the likes of IIS, SQL Server and a few other intensive applications, 1GB should be more than enough. So I'm wondering if there might be some other reason, apart from the memory, that such a large XML document would cause both of the above named functions to cause the script to halt/crash. thnx, Chris
