Hey guys, I would just like to know something... like I know how to write a script that lets you upload files to the net... but how do you go about it if you want to update a file, meaning you have to overwrite it when you upload it again...

I'm still getting used to PHP so yeah... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joshua

One way is that you can delete it first.
if(file_exists( $yourFile ))
{
  unlink( $yourFile );
}
move_uploaded_file( ... );

I think it will automatically overwrite the file if you don't have checks for file_exists.
