Dear David,
Would it be possible to delete the feeds from the feeds folder after they have been imported into the database?
My feeds are automatically imported via this script:
<?php
function download($file_source, $file_target) {
$rh = fopen($file_source, 'rb');
$wh = fopen($file_target, 'wb');
if ($rh===false || $wh===false) {
// error reading or opening file
return true;
}
while (!feof($rh)) {
if (fwrite($wh, fread($rh, 1024)) === FALSE) {
// 'Download error: Cannot write to file ('.$file_target.')';
return true;
}
}
fclose($rh);
fclose($wh);
// No error
return false;
}
//AW feeds
download('http://********Type=2','****.xml');
download('http://********Type=2','****.xml');
download('http://********Type=2','****.xml');
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
passthru("php ../scripts/import.php @MODIFIED");
?>The feed files remain on the server, costing a lot of Megabytes, while they are useless after import...?
Best regards,
Al
Is it possible to erase those files automatically? The script above is activated once a day by a cron job. Is there a code to add, which removes the files once they are imported?
Hi Al,
Sure - try something like:
exec("rm -f ../feeds/*");(but make sure your fetch script isn't in /feeds/ of course!!)
Cheers,
David.
Of course my fetch script is in that folder... :-P
So, will this modification work, to prevent the autoimport.php file from being erased?
exec("rm -f ../feeds/*.xml");Alternatively I can move the file to another folder and adjust the cron job, but then I don't know where the feeds will be loaded.
And can I safely insert this code in the last line of the fetch script above?
Hi Al,
Yes - using *.xml would work fine.
The alternative perhaps would be to keep your fetch script in /scripts/, and prefix each of the download filenames with "../feeds/"
Cheers,
David.
Hello Al,
Yes - that's fine - the admin page will show the "De-Register" link alongside each filename, so as long as you don't click de-register it will be fine.
Cheers,
David.
