i have a problem with deleting files, i use windows XP and installed on it apache server & PHP 5.1 i use unlink($file) to delete files but it doesn't work while it works fine on my webhosting which is on linux machine is there another function to use to delete files under windows instead of link ??
The webserver needs to have permission to modify the file that you are trying to delete. Check the file and directory permissions by right-clicking the directory and going to properties. You will probably need to give the user that controls apache either "full" or "modify" permissions to the Web directory.
In general, permission settings under Windows suck.
i tried that, when a file is being uploaded it becomes read-only, so it can't be deleted, how can i make it not read-only by default ?
Can you post the code you're using to upload and save the file to the Web server?
