Hacks not updating

[Skivey]

I changed a hack so that an automated post that was made had new information. Its done via a php file and pulled in.

It seems the update I have done isnt working yet. When I check the file via FTP its different than whats being displayed in the forum.

Is there someting I need to do to make the forum update this file?

The only thing I can think of is that we use a cache for php files, so when something is changed the cache needs to be flushed.

sorry if i sound thick, i flushed the post cache? But it seemed not to do anything. Am I dong the riht thing? I searched google for flushing the cache, but didnt really get any help from google.

Maybe a link to the hack or some more information on it would help :)

[Skivey]

I cannot do a direct link, but I can send you the file if you like?

Well, you may not have the kind of cache I was talking about, it was just an idea. You'd probably already know about it if you did.

But when you change the script that auto-posts you're not expecting the existing posts to change, right?

[Skivey]

nopes, its the new posts that arent changing.

Im happy for the code to be put in here ill send both pieces.

Ill warn you its a mess, it was programmed by someone who didnt have a clue... I only took the website over in December.

@kh99, im looking at the files and its only text that has changed in $bodytext, i think the file isn't being uploaded to the correct place which is why it's assumed it isn't working :)

[kh99]

I didn't ask for the files. But that sounds like a good possibility - we all do that on occasion.

ye thanks for checking guys, the problem is that the old coder put not only the php files for messaging but the identical files in a plugin for posting the same information.

As I said to Simon, all I have to do now is fix the other 200 files.

Thanks all for your time.
