Is there a maximum file size that DOMXML can handle?

[bizt]

Hi,

I am about to write an app that loads an XML file into memory and then
outputs it. Anyway, the XML file is likely to grow and grow. Its
sitting at about 37KB just now and is likely to double every 6 months.
Should I be concerned?

Cheers

Sorry, worded that wrong. Instead of doubling every 6 months I meant
grow at that rate (eg. 37KB larger every 6 months)

can you intentionally start increasing it at warp speed? Try standard
barriers, like 65k, 2m, 1g, memory of the machine, etc.

If you can pass 10m, why is it getting that big? :D

p.s - i'm not an expert, just a tinkerer, and like to test stuff.

If you are just loading it in and then outputting it, why do you need
DOM XML?

However, DOM parser loads and processes the whole file in memory. So if
you are doing processing, and your XML file is very large (I don't know
what this threshold is), it's generally recommended that you use
event-based parsing, e.g. xml_parser_create(),
xml_set_element_handler(), etc.

Im not too familiar with these commands but the XML file is very
simple, maybe someone can help me out...

XML:

<?xml...
<root>
<name age="25">Martyn</name>
<name age="24">Neil</name>
<name age="24">Robbie</name>
</root>
All I want to do is to output them as:

Martyn (25)
Neil (24)
Robbie (24)
How would I do this?
