upon testing the script does what it should do. and may I remind you of what I said in post #2?

how do i get rid of linebreak?

[angelicdevil]

but the linebreak is /> which is part of the script so if i use str replace wont it get rid of that too?

[angelicdevil]

i have put the lines

 $temp =str_replace("\r", "", $temp);
            $temp =str_replace("\n", "", $temp);

below line 21 to remove line break but it still doesn't delete the line that matches the entered value but instead it all in 1 line.

[Dormilich]

but instead it all in 1 line.

obviously, you remove every line break in the file (which doesn't matter from the XML-point-of-view).

judging from my test you don't need to worry about the line breaks. but it still seems like overkill to do it this way.

[angelicdevil]

ol one thing when i echo back $start or $ end they r empty they r not echoing back anything y is tht so?
