Hello, this is not a php user mailinglist, please ask this only on the php-general@lists.php.net mailinglist. The other lists you wrote to (php-qa and php-lang) are mostly for development purposes OF php. regards, Derick On Thu, 28 Jun 2001, Jimi Malcolm wrote: > I'm trying to from a file in a directory called 'logs'.
