Hi all, I'm about to make an open source backup module that works on php... The thing i want is for php to execute this command "tar cvzfp backup.tar.gz dir/*" BUT IN A SPECIAL WAY! I don't want the file backup.tar.gz to be on the server, it's supposed to either be deleted as fast as the user downloaded the file, or best of all, i want php to do something with the command such that it is ONLY output, and might be in the header....does anyone know how to do that ?? If i did'nt explain right please let me know.... And thanks. Lars Rasmussen -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
