Hi everybody,
I am running a real estate portal and would like to allow users to
upload their listing from their existing software. They do this with a
XML file which they will upload on a ftp server that places this xml
file into a seperate directory on the file system.
My basic idea was to run a php scipt triggered by cron every 5 minutes
that checks if there is a new upload and then reads the file and removes
it. Now here is where the problem starts. Imagine if there are 1000
users, I would need to go through 1000 folders to check for new content.
There must be a better solution to identify the directory that has a
new finished upload.
Has anybody an idea on how to do this? Thank you for any hint.
Best regards,
Merlin
have everything uploaded in to a single incoming folder and swiftly
moved on to somewhere less visible; you should be able to detect who
uploaded the file by checking the owner.
