Thanks. But you misunderstood.

What I want to do is strip the first part of the html
document and display it. Then have a link that will lead to
the rest of the document. So you see there is no physical
split but a virtual split. The reason I don't use the method
that you have is because I don't always get standard
html files and I don't want to have to edit them.

This is my stripper code:

<?php

   if ( $fp = fopen( "http://server/dir/retrieve.php?id=18", "r" ) )
   {
      while( ! feof( $fp ) )
      {
         $line = fread ($fp, 500);


         if ( ! strpos( $line, "<P>" ) === false )
         {
            echo $line;
                break;
         }
      }

      fclose( $fp );
   }
?>
<A HREF="news0.php" target="_top"><FONTSIZE="2">...More</FONT></A>

I have now found a way to strip from the database. What I need now is
a way to strip the latest posting and then 4 or five earlier onse for
display in a table.

I aim the striper at a retrieve code:

<?php

// getdata.php3 - by Florian Dittmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
// Example php script to demonstrate the direct passing of binary data
// to the user. More infos at http://www.phpbuilder.com
// Syntax: getdata.php3?id=<id>

if (isset($id)) {

    // you may have to modify login information for your database server:
    MYSQL_CONNECT("server","user", "password");

    mysql_select_db("bin_data");

    $query = "select bin_data,filetype from binary_data where id=$id";
    $result = MYSQL_QUERY($query);

    $data = MYSQL_RESULT($result,0,"bin_data");
    $type = MYSQL_RESULT($result,0,"filetype");

    Header( "Content-type: $type");
    echo $data;

};
?> 


Thanks for the suport I hope I get it right.
