What is the problem here? Can't we find a way around it? This can probably be disabled easily (just kill the test of the version numbers) but then you subject yourself to the Lost Update Problem. The solution is locking, and WebDAV is the standard to handle this. WebDAV is now included in GNOME, OSX, Windows and many other places, and Apache supports it with mod_webdav (or thereabouts). WebDAV extends the HTTP protocol with a host of new methods like LOCK, UNLOCK, DELETE, COPY, MOVE... There is no native PHP support for Webdav yet, as far as I know. There is an implementation out there though. But this may not solve your wish to "go back and edit again" come to think of it. ~swain --- http://www.panix.com/~swain/ "Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid." -- Frank Zappa |
