Hi All - hope someone has done this before. I need to create a PHP script that detects the presence of a new file appearing into a folder, and process it. This HAS to be supported by Windows IIS (Have looked at FAM for Linux but can't use it). I could do a loop with some sleep that checks the directory every x seconds - but this has been discounted by the client as either a) too resource hungry or b) not quick enough if there is a delay. Add ons, extensions or even external 3rd party tools would all be acceptable. Any ideas? Phil

I have been working on a custom form for our office to use, and I am rounding the final corner (checkboxes!) and am stuck. I have finally gotten the code to actually function the way I want, but am greeted with a 500 error instead of the confirmation page. Maybe I'm just tired and missing something...

Thanks!
