How could a single text file update all the files? I mean if the update gets the content and replaces a file with the new content how would it know the diffrence from diffrent parts of the text file to go in diffrent files? Or are you using more then one text file?

It isnt a single text file, but in update.php iv repeated the process about 3 times to update all the current files

That's the moral behind the saying.

I was just thinking that... In all honesty mate, I'd probably go with an upload upgrade rather than something like this. It's a nice idea in theory, but messy :eusa_wall

I take it you have taken into account backing up the sql data and then updating the db.

now why would i want to overwrite the database file? That would be pointless & useless

I assume he means in case the database file is edited incorrectly in some way during an upgrade?

Pretty much. If you make any db updates in a new release then how do you plan on implementing them through auto updating?

The database is only edited when new features are added But yes, it is all backed up (To their server, not mine). And if anything does go wrong during the update, you can run rebuild.php and that will restore the system to V1.0 (Keeping the same database/sql file, stops you loosing on packages youv added ) and you can wait till the bug is fixed before re-updating
Anyway, what features shall i add?
