Hi,
the easiest way is to open the file in a write only mode.
$fp=fopen("/var/mail/myaccount","w");
$fclose($fp);
Here's an excerpt from http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php
'w' - Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and
truncate the file to zero length. If the file
does not exist, attempt to create it.
Hope this helps
