Getting a 500 response from the server suggests that your server is set up to hide PHP error messages from you. Are you, perchance, using Windows? I don't know what you need to tweak to get it to show you PHP errors but others here may be able to help you with that. As far as your task goes it seems pretty straightforward. Use unlink() to delete the existing file if file_exists() returns true, then use touch() to create the new, empty file. Simples. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/
