clear file

[Anon]

I use this function to write to a file:

function generate_wml($str) {
if($fd = @fopen($GLOBALS[ "wmlfile"], "a")) {
fputs($fd, $str);
fclose($fd);
}
}

Is there anyway I can empty the file before writing or write a new file over the old?

Thanks in advance.

Please read the manual...

http://www.php.com/fopen

mode may be any of the following:

                      'r' - Open for reading only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file. 

                      'r+' - Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file. 

                      'w' - Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.

                      'w+' - Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to
                      create it. 

                      'a' - Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the end of the file. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it. 

                      'a+' - Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the end of the file. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it. 

In case you're still confused. use "w" or "w+" instead of "a" in your fopen command.
