Re: Unlink question more or less

Yeah they are, actaully I switched it to a static name and then added the time stamp as part of the information I'm gathering. Now I just re-write the file on each log in. John Holmes wrote:

You can't use wildcards. Use a system() or exec() call to do it. Why use the datetime part at all? The usernames are unique, right? ---John Holmes...

Here's what happening: I'm mucking around with some login stuff, when a user logs in it

writes

a flat file that collects some information about them, the flat file

is

created with the name username.dateyeartime Now each time they log in

I

want to delete that file and replace it with the new file that has the latest dateyeartime ending on it. I've tried unlink (username.*); but that returns an error. Is there a way for unlink() to recongize wildcards? If not how would I do this? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
