If you want to chop the END of a file off, the ever-so-cleverly-named ftruncate will do that. http://php.net/ftruncate If you want to chop the FRONT of a file off, I don't think you can do that... In fact, given the way some operating systems maintain their file catalogs, I'm almost positive you can't do that. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
