hi,
maybe a better way to do it would be to use tempnam
$fname=tempnam("/www/htdocs/edb/tmp","CSV");
$fp= fopen($fname,"w+");
$filename=basename($fname);
create a var with todays dats in it and then set that as the second
parameter of tempnam.
this will generate unique filenames including the date.
i generate csv files in this manner and then the user downloads them and
renames them to whatever they want.
