Hi all, I have a simple question : how can I ensure that 2 files are identical ? How about this ? --------8<------------------------------------------------------ function files_identical($path1, $path2) { return (file_get_contents($path1) == file_get_contents($path2)); } I would say, use a md5 checksum on both files:function files_identical($path1, $path2) { return (md5(file_get_contents($path1)) === md5(file_get_contents($path2))); } -- Aschwin Wesselius /'What you would like to be done to you, do that to the other....'/
