Re: Wait till file contents changed

Create a file handle, $handle = fopen($filename, ‘r’, ), create a variable, $busy = true, then create a loop. while busy, $contents = fread($handle, 1 ), if $contents is 1 set busy to false. However, the elegant solution would be: <path to php>/php <path to file to execute> at te end of the script.
