Um, it seem to work. That's weird. Should have check for the string length first, so I wasn't looking at the same problem. So, I did further debugging and I'm going to post the script here. Still don't know what is the problem here...
--snip-- $XML_Start = (strpos($res_str,"<![CDATA[")+9); $HTML_Start = (strpos($res_str,"<![CDATA[",$XML_Start)+9); $HTML_End = strpos($res_str,"]]>",$HTML_Start); $XML_End = strpos($res_str,"]]>",$HTML_End); echo $XML_Start." ***XML Start<br>"; echo $XML_End." ***XML End<br><br>"; echo $HTML_Start." ***HTML Start<br>"; echo $HTML_End." ***HTML End<br>"; echo strlen($res_str); --snip-- The response I got here is... --snip-- 319 ***XML Start 119843 ***XML End 25650 ***HTML Start 119843 ***HTML End 120015 --snip-- As we see, the number for $XML_End and $HTML_End are the same which is not correct because there are two seperate "]]>" near the end of hte string. So, I still don't know what hte problem is... Scott F.
