fwrite

Hello all,

 

i'm having a small problem with a code, i need to delete what was written by fwrite after lets say 3 seconds

 

here's the code

 

$log = fopen($user_file,"a",1);

$data = $date.'-'.$link_data.'|';
fwrite($log, $data);
fclose($log);

 

 

Thanks in advance

Why do you need to delete it after 3 seconds, and what do you use "it" for?

ok the main idea is that bot will write the user id in users folder as txt file, but this one is linked to a $time_limit code which is 5 minutes between bot replies, so i dont need that function to be included with $check_link function and i want it to delete it after 3 seconds.

it's used for a bot that generate links for users.

A text file is not a database. You can't delete a random line in a text file. All you can do is add to the file, or write a new file on top of the old one. In your example you are appending lines to a file.

 

If you want to write a file, then delete it 3 seconds later, in order to use the existence of the file as some sort of semaphore, you can have the script write the file, then sleep for 3 seconds, then delete the file.

// Write file

sleep(3);

// Delete file.
unlink('path/to/yourfile');
