Ok, here is my problem. Using the code below, I am saving a posted form to
a database including the files it contains.
There is one line commented out.. The unlink command. Without the command,
the script works fine and new files
Overwrite the old files when uploaded. If, however, I uncomment the unlink
line, the new files are still saved and the
"if (file_exists($path)) {" line evals to true, but the file disappears
after program
Execution. The net result of having the unlink command in seems to be that
it executes
after program termination leaving a record of the successful upload in the
database, but
no file found on the server where the upload occurred. Does anyone have any
idea of
why this would be occurring? The php docs for unlink do not talk about
delayed execution
and other scripts I researched seems to use unlink before the move command
with success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
