Re: [PHP-DB] delete file contents (sorry if i posted this twice, problem with signing up)
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

Anna, Check the docs, but I believe if you fopen() with the "w" flag it overwrites the contents.
