Emptying a page with PHP

Another question related to my script!

My script outputs headlines to a html file, and this is included in one of my pages, therefore giving me news headlines, however, is there a way I can make the file empty by adding a function to the script, but not deleting the file, because at the moment, I have to upload another blank copy of the article_summary.html file to empty it.

Code:

$fp = fopen ("news.html", "w");
fwrite($fp, "");

if I read my book correctly this should write over existing data with nothing

no idea if it works though, give it a try Laughing
