PHP 4 XML Parser : Buffer Problem

[RedBoffin]

Hello 

 

I have a large xml file to parse.

 

Using the built-in parser and some tutorial code, I have built a parser which reads this xml data in successfully except for one small problem - at the point where the buffering occurs, a few characters of data are lost! Then the xml data is parsed correctly until the buffer is reached again... and a few characters of data are lost... and so on throughout the document.

 

I have isolated the problem to be the buffer. Changing the buffer size does not solve the problem - this just changes the points in the xml file where the data loss occurs. Has anyone else run into this problem with PHP 4's xml buffering and (hopefully) found a solution.

 

Thanks for reading.
