sloth456 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I have an xml file thats about 20MB, I want to parse it all into an array. SimpleXML seems to have trouble processing it, I just get "Fatal error: Balloc() failed to allocate memory". I've googled this topic and can't seem to find a straight forward solution. There must be someone here who has had to do this before. Is there an easy way to parse this?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The XML Parser - http://us2.php.net/manual/en/book.xml.php allows you to parse an XML document line by line. I do however recommend that you wrap the call-back functions in a OOP/Class so that you can share class variables as necessary between the call-back functions to 'remember' the present state/current tag name...

sloth456 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 I really appreciate your input, I've seen this page before but I'm finding it really hard to understand. Is there a good tutorial you can point me to? Or even better, a ready made function/class? Sorry to be such a noob, I'm finding this hard!
