Question

I have XML file with over 300 000 entries which my script has to parse each day..

The xml is with structure as :

<root>
     <item>
        <proper1></proper1>
        <proper2></proper2>
    </item>
</root>

I need to split the big XML file into smaller files so my PHP can run them, currently it cant proccess it because it uses too much memory.
Can any one help me with that ?
