Hi, Apparently my safe mode is off. I tried fiddling with my code by changing the permission of my intended to delete file as in the following: <?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL); $curDir = getcwd(); chmod($curDir,0777); echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($curDir)), -4); $fileToRemove = "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/project/testFile.txt";chmod ($fileToRemove, 0777) or die ("permission canonot be set"); echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($fileToRemove)), -4); if (@unlink($fileToRemove) == true) { unlink($fileToRemove); } else {echo "You don't have the permission";} ?> This is the output I get 07770666You don't have the permission I don't get a failure statement in the line: chmod ($fileToRemove, 0777) or die ("permission canonot be set");, how come the permission of this file is still 0666? Thanks in advance.
