I see, just use dump.xml as a temp file, run the list on it and grab
$body - makes perfect sense.

I changed my xml_parse line from:
--
$fp = fopen("http://www.silverheaven.com/reg/dump.xml", "r+")
xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))

to

xml_parse($xmlparser,$body,1)

and removed the fopen() stuff. Printing out $body looks like the
regexp worked perfectly. It seems to work until I get this error:

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid XML Parser resource in
/post3.php on line 122
XML error: at line 1

that line is xml_parse($xmlparser,$body,1) - I assume its talking
about the optional true (1) statement, the 3rd parameter, since my
parser is there and $body seems fine. Here is my total parser code:
---
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");

//print $body; <-- printed out and looks fine
while($body) <-- not sure if this is right either...
{
   xml_parse($xmlparser, $body, 1)
      or die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
        xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
        xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
---

Man I'm so close I can taste it! What is this error!??
