PHPJunkyard support forum

i found the second bit of code and changed it to:

function createNewFile($name,$mail,$subject,$comments,$count,$date,$other="",$up="0") {
global $settings, $dodano;

$newfile="msg/".$count.".".$settings['extension'];
if (file_exists($newfile))
{
deleteOld($count,$newfile);
}

but now when a post is made it cannot be found. i.e. after the post successful message and i return to board, there is no post!

hi klemen,
just wondering if it's failing to work because i made the change after i exceeded the msg max count. i.e. when it was 220 i changed the max count to 200. would this be the cause. i've pasted the code above which doesn't work,
thanks

You can try this:
in settings.php set max count to 200 and in mboard.php set count ID to 300:
if ($count >= 300) {

See if that works. If not the counting and deleting part of the code would have to be rewritten and that is out of the scope of my support here.

But why complicate in the first place? Why limit IDs to 0-200 or 0-300 in the first place? This is where the problems came from.

ok thanks Klemen, got it now
