debug file parsing

[gagz]

Hi...

can someone tell me while the code below won't correctly parse a delimited file set up like:

<url>
[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.test.com[/URL]
</url>
<blurb>
This is some text.

More text.
</blurb>

if (ereg("(link)\$",$_POST["files"]))
      {
        while ( ! feof( $newsfile ) )
        {
            $line = fgets( $newsfile, 1024 );
	    if ($line == &quot;<url>&quot;)
	    {
	        $line = fgets( $newsfile, 1024);
                $url_val = $line;
	    }
	    if ($line == &quot;<blurb>&quot;)
	    {
	      while ( $line != &quot;</blurb>&quot;)
	      {
                $blurb_val = $blurb_val . $line;
                $line = fgets( $newsfile, 1024 );
	      }
	    }
	}
 }

thanks!

btw, the file name is .link, thats why the if statement is there... and the filehande $newsfile is correctly opened already, just didn't post the code.
