Reading a large text file

[benjrox]

Hi, I have a script that phases a chat log from a IM program to HTML, but when the chat log is bigger then 100KB (I think) it doesn't display a thing. Anything lower works perfectly.
Here's the code:
PHP:
[code] $pext = getFileExtension($log_name);
$pext = strtolower($pext);

if ($pext != "txr") {
unlink($log);
die("Bad file type, please upload a Log file (.txr only).");
} else {
        $handle = fopen($log, "r");
$contents = '';
if($handle) {
while (!feof($handle)) {
$contents .= fread($handle, filesize($log));
}
echo fix($contents);
fclose($handle);
}
}[/code]
Upload HTML:
[code]<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<? echo $PHP_SELF ?>">
  Log file (.txr):
  <input type="file" name="log" size="30" />
  <input type="hidden" name="action" value="1">
  <br />
  <br />
  <input type="submit" value="View Log">
</form>[/code]
Thanks,
Benj

Have you tried just dumping the contents of the file into a variable with file_get_contents() ?
I can't see why it should fail on files over 100k - How long is it taking to execute?
