Hello !

This is what I did:

- created folder name "image"
- use FTP to upload .gif + .jpg files inside "image" folder
- I've tried to use the function unlink("",""); to delete the .gif file

Then I got the error message Permission denied

I think I need to change the file owner (or something like that) so that the remove.php script can delete the unwanted file? Is it right?

Please help me how to do that ! Thanks

Please note: If I upload the gif files via my upload.php script then I can use unlink function to delete the unwanted gif file.

Thanks!
Kev

I think its because of this.

When you ftp files up to your site they are being chowned (change owner) to your ftp user.

Apache or your webserver is probably running under its own user like apache which does not have permission to remove the files.

Also, it could be that the images directory is not chmod'd to something writable (777 or 666)

Hope that helps

By the way, unlink only takes one argument.. I dont know what that second one is for..
