External files newsletter system problem

[ovdb]

I don't have a clue why this doesn't work:

$bestand_file = file($config[bestand]);  

$bestand_file[$id]= "";  

$file_open = fopen($config[bestand], "w");   

fwrite($file_open, "$email \n");  

foreach($bestand_file as $regel) 
    {  

    fwrite($file_open,$regel);   

    }   

fclose($file_open);    

it's supposed to unsubscribe the person with $id, but for some reason it just doesn't work. $config[bestand] is certainly set correctly.

Thanks a lot

I'm assuming that $bestand_file[$id] is the line of the email you're trying to delete (counting the first one as zero, of course). Try using unset($bestand_file[$id]). And rather than looping through all the lines writing them out one by one, $bestand_file=join('',$bestand_file) into a single big string and write that out in one go. I notice you write a new $email out everytime as well (with an id of zero, 'cos it's the zeroth line in the file).

Of course, none of this may be relevant: it depends on what does happen when it "doesn't work".
