Maybe one of these days I'll remember to actually reply to the list the
first time.

Try this:

$file_data = file_get_contents('filename', false, null, 230);
file_put_contents('filename', $file_data);

This should do exactly what you need, although you may want to see if either
one returns false (indicating an error) and stop the script.

Is it possible with PHP to remove a certain number of bytes from a file,
purely within PHP?

If so, does someone have an example of doing this, removing the first
230 bytes from a file.

Thanks,

Scott.
