Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do I use it (i really
have no understanding of regex at all) within this code block:

$filename = "dump.xml";
$handle = fopen($filename,'w+');
$string = $response;
fputs($handle, $string);
fclose($handle);

I'm assuming my $string matches your $inputdata...

As if I knew what that meant!

Actually the reason I didn't try your solution earlier was because I
think I had the other one running already..would your solution still
have the same effect as the block of data that you mentioned?
