trying to delete a file using unlink

[laura2k]

hello,

i am trying to delete a file using the unlink function but it just is not working. i just get the Could not delete message. Is there anyway to find out exactly what is wrong? I've tried the exact path which is C:/domain/wwwroot/temp/0000000.txt but it just does not delete. Also i dont think it can be related to permissions because the 0000000.txt was created automatically by a script. The code i used is as follows:

<?
$delete = unlink("C:/domain/wwwroot/temp/0000000.txt");

if($delete)
{
echo "Succesfully Deleted";
}
else
{
echo "Could not Delete";
}
?>

thanx in advanced.

Create your own file and put it in the directory. Then try to do the same with that file. Do you still get the same message?

Did you happen to leave the file pointer open? You must close it first via fclose($fp) before issuing unlink().
