Thanks Paul and Shawn:
I can't answer the Why's in your posts, as this is literally my first
attempt at PHP, but I will investigate your response and refine my code
accordingly.
What I did find is that by replacing the following code:
$fhandle = fopen("/ramdrive/import_file.txt", "w");
foreach($new_format as $data) {
fputs($fhandle, "$data");
}
fclose($fhandle);
with this code:
$fp = fopen('data.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fp, $new_format[$each_rec]);
fclose($fp);
The parsing finished literally, within seconds. I don't have to worry
about anyone else opening this file, so I think this should work ok.
Thanks for your help....
