of course if you want to write something to the file and not just create it empty, then you could use fopen, fwrite, etc.

i wrote this

PHP Code:

$ourFileName = "$vbulletin->options['aglogname'];";
$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fclose($ourFileHandle); 


which is handy, and now looking for the part that will create the file from
$vbulletin->options['aglogname'];

but only run once, i am not sure if thats possible, but i imagine that eash time i change the name in

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options['aglogname']; 


it will create the new file

i dont need to write to it, just create it
