===Create a new file with a unique non-conflicting filename===
This example is extracted from the Wattmon OS "/scripts/logrotate.cgi":
$date=strftime("/logs/log%Y%m%d.txt",time()); // desired filename, but it may already exist
$cnt=0;
while (file_exists($date)) {
$date=strftime("/logs/log%Y%m%d-".$cnt.".txt",time()); // unique non-conflicting filename
$cnt++;
}
$st="/logs/log.txt";
if (file_exists($st)) {
$res=rename($st,$date);
if ($res==0) $_GLOBALS['sysmsg']="Log file rotated to ".$date;
log("New logfile created after logrotate called.");
} else {
$_GLOBALS['sysmsg']="Unable to rotate, log file doesnt exist";
}
print("{\"status\":1,\"msg\":\"".$_GLOBALS['sysmsg']."\"}");
