in thread Uniquely identifying each & every html template

Am i not still the same person i used to be?

Has your DNA changed? If not, you are detectably the same person.

So now all you need is something to detect in your files to make the determination.

But if Dreamweaver glitches and empties the file, you're stuffed.

    Yes and i dont know if joomla does it too.....

    BUT i dont want to embed strings inside every files content.

    There must be some other way to identify the file, NOT the following attributes:

    1. filename
    2. filepath
    3. hash
    3. embedded string

    Really....how's the OS detects each file and its modifications?

      how's the OS detects each file and its modifications?

      It doesn't. When you edit a file, with most programs, the edited file is written out to a completely new file (with a temporary name), then the old file is deleted, and the temporary file is renamed to the old filename. The *ONLY* link between them is the name.

      That's life. Stop wishing for the impossible.

        You are right. What i ask cannot be done.

        so, i guess i have to decide if the identifier will be the "filepath" or the "hash" (based on file's contents)

        Which method do you advise me to use?
