Best way to empty the PHP error_log file?

Can it be deleted so it creates a new one automatically?
Or better to download it, make file empty and re-upload the empty file?

 

Access denied! I always get this mez when try to delete it!

 

Make a script that empty file and put this script on cron, thats it. Script will be,

$handle = fopen("error_log", w);
fwrite($handle, " ");

I have not tested it, but it shud work.

 

For that the file should be writable, and we should be knowing the exact path, right?

 

Yeh Aragon you are right, I think for emptying php log file you will have to use SUDO.

 

You could always just delete it, It is created new if not found.
