[thelist] placing the pointer in a text file using PHP..

[Tom Dell'Aringa]

Continuing on with my text file..its actually an XML file. I can't
use my XML parsing script because I have the header information in my
XML file.. I need to strip that first. Here is what I get back:

I see that I can use fseek() to place my pointer, but how can I find
out the place to put it correctly ..i.e., I need to find out in my
XML file where <?xml is so I can place the pointer right before the
opening <. Then I imainge once I place the pointer there I should be
able to remove that data..maybe using ftruncate()?
