Re: Emptying DATA

Find a new environment. It is much more dangerous to overwrite the script. Are you sure you cannot write to files at all? If so, get your money back and find a host which gives you a real account.

Find a new environment. It is much more dangerous to overwrite the script. I agree. If you're unable to get the "no writing files" restriction relaxed, find a different, less restrictive environment. If you're in some sort of "free" environment, calculate the amount of time you're going to have to spend to get around that environment's restrictions, then put a reasonable dollar value on an hour of your time, and multiply. Unless you place a low value on an hour of your time, free-but-restrictive can quickly become less of a good deal.	[reply]
