UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Trying to write a routine....

Ok, I've been modifying the ugb a bit lately

Now, I want to make a routine (in the control panel) that would make a backup of entries.file (as oldentries.file) and clear entries.file itseld (or delete it)

Now, how do I make this routine?

Anytime - this forum is getting a bit stale. No one really asks perl questions.

Well, that routine worked perfect, but now I want a little twist
I still want the routine to make a backup, but instead of emptying intries.file, it should be deleted entirly

Er - renaming it would have this affect.

Just a thought

Change this
open(ENT,">$path/to/entries.file");print ENT "n";close(ENT);
to
unlink "entries.file"
