Hi, I need to be able to do the following procedure; retrieve all items from a mysql db table, then check to see if the files from that table exist on the server (images), if not, to "clean up" and remove the physical file - so that only the files from the db exist. This will run via cron Has anyone done something similar before, willing to assist me with a basic scope of actions to work on? Thanks in advance Steven

Steven: Are you saying that if images exist in your database AND appear in the file system, then don't delete them? Why not give your approved images a prefix and just delete everything that doesn't via a cron? Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
