I believe that fread uses the handle pointer from when it was opened
so...

None of the code is tested, I just typed it in.

class FileReader
{
        //private
        var $handle;

        function FileReader($filePath)
        {
                $this->handle = fopen($filePath,'r');
        }

        /*public*/function read($bytes)
        {
                return fread($this->handle,$bytes);
        }

        /*public*/function isEndOfFile()
        {
                return feof($this->handle);
        }
        
        //...
}

USAGE:
$strFile = "";
$fr =& new FileReader("example.txt");
While(!$fr->isEndOfFile())
{
        $strPartialFile = $fr->read(1000);
        $strFile .= $strPartialFile;
}

Subject: [PHP] fread()


Is there any way to use fread() or a similar function to read a section
of a document NOT starting at the beginning...

for example, I can read the first 1000 bytes of a document with

fread($doc, 1000);

Is there any way to read the second 1000 bytes?

perhaps, fread($doc, 1000, 2000); who knows....

or would substr work?
