maybe you're trying to delete files from your tmp directory. maybe that's the problem. normally you delete files from your server directory, after you copied em from your tmp directory.

i don't know for sure, i never had such problem before.

Actually, could it be possible that it is restricted to only allow me to delete from the /tmp directory? And if so, where would I check/change that?

[UnrealEd]

you mean the file permissions? or do you mean through php.ini?

if it's the file permission, but i don't think so, you have to use chmod('filepath', 0777);

Just wondering, but aren't the files in the tmp directory deleted after a while. that way there's nothing to worry about. when you wonna keep em, you should store em somewhere on your server (e.g: a folder called /images/)

the last time i wrote an upload script, i copied the file to the image directory after checking, but i didn't remove them from the tmp directory

I was thinking that there may be a permissions restrcition in php.ini...not sure if that is possible, but it was a thought I had.

I added

PHP Code:

chmod($img_dir, 0777); 

and it is now printing the same error to the page twice, once each for chmod() & unlink().

[rmd]

I tried moving the php file into the same directory as the image I am trying to delete, and that gave me the open_basedir & failed to open stream errors on my connection include file.

are you trying to remove it from your tmp directory? if so, try copying the file to a place on your server, and then try to unlink the file in that directory. if that works, you know you can't delete or chmod files in the tmp directory.
if that doesn't work either: i don't have a single clue

No, not touching the temp directory. I am actually trying to delete it from the directory where it resides "permanently" after being uploaded.

I will post a new thread and see if someone else might not have a suggestion. I do appreciate your help. Thanks so much!
