you could use a loop and do something like
1. read a directory getting all the files that have that name.
2. loop through and delete off each file that has any given extension or
selected extensions, or all with that file name ... example:
=================================
if ( $dir = opendir($path) )
{
while ($file = readdir($dir))
{
if ( !eregi( "^thefilename", $file ) ) continue; ##use regex to
check for files with the specified "$filename"; if file not w/ this name,
skip it
if ( is_file( $file ) && $file != "." && $file != ".." && $file !=
"" )
unlink( $file ); ## this will delete off the file
}
}
}
closedir($dir);
=================================
*You should look into regular expressions to help you parse out bits from a
string ( If you aren't already familiar with regex's ).
Good luck!

Yes, you can get it at www.caraveo.com/fastcgi/phpfcgi.zip
This is built on 4.1.1 sources, and is only the phpfcgi.exe stub, you need
binaries for the rest of php available from php.net.

You have to remember this is PHP and not Perl. You do not need to use the
ampersand in front of arrays. You always use the $ for variables, including
arrays and hashes.
Replace that & with a $, and you should be fine.
Good luck ! :)

Pardon my error ... I didn't mean that you use & for arrays ... doeth! But
it reminded me of Perl, nonetheless. @ for arrays, % for hashes, & to call
functions ... anyway .... moving along.
Switch out the & for $ and should be fine.

Yeah, problem solved. Heh, I haven't coded in PHP for some time, so I was not used to
global variables being disabled. Now I understand whats going on. Thanks for the
help.

Well actually the credit for underlining links goes much further back, to
Tim Berners-Lee - at least as far as WWW goes, and even further if you look
at the predecessor(s) to HTML (i.e. SGML).
One of the reasons for this is to give visual clues to those that are less
technically (or just mentally) skilled. Having done IT work full-time for
the last two years I can attest to the requirement of such visual clues.
While someone who has been using the internet for a fair amount of time
doesn't require those clues. We have to remember that there are a LOT of
complete morons out there who couldn't find their own arses with two hands
and a mirror.
Admittedly the whole thing with underscores and underlines overlapping is a
pain in the ass, but then again so are newbie documents with titles such as
"Costing Report for the 26th of January 1998 for Joseph McPherson .htm"
(I've seen this kind of thing many times).
Sorry if this sounds like a rant, it's Monday and I'd rather be coding, but
I'm stuck with IT. However, I don't make any apologies if I've offended
anyone <grin>

A big HELLO to php-windows,
I'm experiencing a problem with PHP4.0.3.pl1 and the query_string function.
This only happens using Microsoft IE 4.01.
I have a link which has several query parameters, however this is not being
passed/received correctly.
Example:
Link = http://xxx/xxx.php?db=yha-men-2001§ion=Men&season=2001-2002
in xxx.php, getenv("QUERY_STRING") returns
db=yha-men-2001ion=Men&season=2001-2002
Notice that "§" is missing from the middle of the string.
Don't know if this happens all the time or is intermittent - I don't have IE4
and don't know if any visitors are OK as I'm only reporting errors (details
e-mailed to me).
Anybody got any ideas? Not found anything in the bug list.
--
Cheers,
Neil

Brian,
Go and get PHPTriad. That setups up Apache/PHP/MySQL for you. It's very
starightforward and you don't have to mess around with any settings at all.
Hope this help.
