Re: Can you make a file empty?

NOTE: If you are doing this for security reasons, that doesn't mean that a *real* hacker can't have some sort of tool to dig into random bytes of the hard drive and see what used to be in the file... But any user that has that much access to your web server probably has more interesting things to do to mess you up... Still, there may be better ways to wipe the data itself out if it's particularly sensitive. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?
