• Compression is supported. Add the following before you connect to enable GZIP compression. Lowers response time and bandwidth required for your tasks

$rets->SetParam("compression_enabled", true);

• Offset is supported. Request your listings in batches using the new auto-offset feature of PHRETS

$rets->SetParam("offset_support", true);

and then search requests such as:

$search = $rets->SearchQuery("Property", "A", "(LIST_87=2010-04-01T00:00:00+)", array('Limit' => 1000) );

to retrieve all listings (in batches of 1000 behind-the-scenes)
