RE: [PHP] checking users have the latest version of a file
I was considering my only last options is diff and filesize, but then i was thinking say the latest file is a size of 1mb, the copy of the users machine is 2mb but is still not in sync with the latest copy then . sorry to trouble you about this, i would have intergrated php with cvs viewer, but this type of infrastructure would be painful to get onto the public server, being that i still dont have cvs on my development machine i insisted i get, therefore the only way i could get it on in a short time would be to do it myself but i doubt that can happen hehe ;) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
