PHP :: Deleting Files Using Unlink [function.unlink]: Permission Denied

Warning: Unlink() [function.unlink]: Permission Denied In C:Program
i'm getting this error when i try to upload an image-
Warning: unlink() [function.unlink]: Permission denied in C:Program Filesxampphtdocsepeopleupim.php on line 79

Does this mean i need to change the directory permission to allow php to move/copy an image into the directory? if so, can i right-click on directory folder (i use windows xp) and go into properties and change the permissions in there? If so, what do i change it to? Code:

Rename, Unlink : Permission Denied XPpro, Apache, PHP 4.3.3
I've tried everything seen on Internet, but nothing works:

I'm trying to move a file from a dir to a subdir (WinXP Pro, Apache, PHP
4.3.3)

Here is the code:
chmod($XMLPath, 0777);
chmod($XMLPath.$file, 0777);
chmod($XMLPath.$successpath, 0777);

if (!rename($XMLPath.$file, $XMLPath.$successpath.$file)) //move file in
success path
if(!rename($XMLPath.$file, $XMLPath."file.old")){
if (copy($XMLPath.$file, $XMLPath.$successpath.$file))
unlink($XMLPath.$file);
}

both Rename and unlink give me Permission Denied error. The file isn't in
read only mode, and the copy works fine (so the path are right...)

Deleting Files Using Unlink()
I have been searching the forums for examples of using unlink() and I thought I understood it, but my code is not working. I have a form where the user can upload an image. The image is stored in a directory on my server and the path to that file is stored in a database.

I have have another form that allows an admin to delete that row from the database, but I also want the actual image file deleted too. I don't recieve any errors, but the rows get deleted from the database and images do not get deleted. I am using PHP5, MySQL and PEAR. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is not working? Here is my code: PHP Code:

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') {
    if ($_POST['yes_no'] == 'yes') {
        $isbn = $_POST['isbn'];
        $sql_select = "SELECT image FROM lounge WHERE isbn = $isbn";
        $rows = $db->getRow($sql_select);
        $uploaddir = "uploads/";
        $filename = $rows[image];
        $image = $uploaddir.$filename;
        unlink($image);

        $sql_delete = "DELETE FROM lounge WHERE isbn = $isbn";
        $db->query($sql_delete);
        print "<script>window.location='water_music_retrieve_testing.php'</script>";
    } else {
        print "Record not deleted";
        print "<script>window.location='water_music_retrieve_testing.php'</script>";
    }
    }

Unlink Permission
I know I setup the permissions right and I gave everything write permissions. Still to no avail. Check out this error:

The [function.unlink] is a link to nowhere. What the crap does all that mean? Has anyone else had this problem? I am betting it's an IIS problem.

Unlink() And Rmdir() Permission
I use unlink() and rmdir() do delete files and folders, and I can actually do it only with files and folders created through the PHP script. If I try to do it with the files or folders creted manually, through the Explorer, I get the "permission denied error"!.
By the way, I know that I cannot delete non-empty directory. I still cannot delete the empty ones too?

Permission Error On Unlink, But Who Has Permission If Not PHP?

in config.php, which is included in delete.php by the way

Unlink Files That Are Checked
Has anyone written a script where you can view files in a directory and then delete them? Next to each file name is a check box. If you check the check box and click a delete button, the file will be deleted from the directory it resides in.

This script allows me to upload files to the upload folder on my webserver. I can also view all files in the upload folder. The only thing I can't do is put a check next to the file I want to delete and click the delete button to delete the file from the upload directory. Any ideas????

Thanks,

Jamie

Unlink() Function
So I could use some newbie advice on using the PHP Unlink() function. The background info:
I have two different php scripts.

1. Script "1" allows me to upload files (using file upload) to a given directory that I specify in the configuration.

2. Script "2" allows me to view (view only) all files that have been uploaded via script 1.

I am currently in the process of modifying Script "2" so that I can delete any file that the user may designate. I am not setting this up to do multiple delte. Just a single file at a time. Code:

Unlink (delete Files) With Asterix's?
is it possible to delete a file and use an asterix? (or any wildcard)
ie, I triedÂ @unlink(Username_CV_."*"); and @unlink(Username_CV_.*); to no success.

the ending is a date, so it could be Username_CV_june27_2007 or aug31 or whatever, and obviously I don't want to delete ALL the files from other users as well...

I guess I could store the file name in a table, but it would be nicer to not need that to simply delete simple a file..

PHP/IIS: File Read/Write OK, File Unlink Denied
I've got PHP running fine on IIS (OS: Server 2003, SP1; IIS: 6.0; PHP:
4.3.11).

In PHP, the user uploads a file, which is then processed and the
contents are inserted into a new file, created in PHP, onto the server.

This bit works fine, the new file created by PHP is correctly stored.

Later, once the user confirms the upload and PHP inserts the contents
of the file into the DB, the code tries to remove the file created in
PHP moments earlier, via the unlink() function.

What I see on screen is the following: Permission denied

I have made sure that the permissions for the Internet account that
created (and is trying to delete) the file have full permissions over
this particular folder and the files within it. But the user must have
permission anyway, because they are able to create this file in the
first place.

I've looked at the permissions for the file in PHP, which read: 0666.
So everthing *appears* ok to me; I can't see where the permission issue
is coming from.

Permission Denied On Uploaded Files
I am writing a file that allows users to create a page and add images blah. Anyways, i'm getting some permission errors? The files upload fine but I can't get rid of them :confused: I get a permission denied error. I believed the permissions are set to 644? I have it set so a user can upload more than one file. they upload one and it uploads and then goes back to the form retaining their information. Anyways, my code moves their file from the tmp folder to ANOTHER temp folder I assign to them when they first visit the form. Could that be causing my problem? Here is a little bit of my code.

$baseimgdir="blah/blah/blah"; ((its retrieved from database but its an example))
$file_name=$_FILES['file_name']['name'];
$tmpfile=$_FILES['file_name']['tmp_name'];
$temp_fold=$_POST['temp_fold'];
if (!is_dir($baseimgdir.$temp_fold)) { mkdir($baseimgdir.$temp_fold,0777); }
if (!is_dir($baseimgdir.$temp_fold)) { echo "IT FAILED"; } else {
$suc=@copy($tmpfile,$baseimgdir.$temp_fold."/".$file_name);

Delete Files On Win2k - Permission Denied
I'm trying to delete local files within a php-script running on win2k (I'm loggend in as administrator, the script is not meant to run in a web-environment but only from commandline).

the problem is I get a "permission denied" when I try to delete the file with unlink($file) or try to move it with ($oldpath.$file,$newpath.$file). since I'm administrator there shouldn't be problems with win2k's file-permissions, the files I'm trying to delete are full accessible for everyone.
the php manual says that "unlink" probably won't work on windows but doesn't say how to delete files then?

Unlink In IIS
I know there are many posts about unlink() not working but ive tried everything and I cant get it to work. This is my command:

$dir has the directory location
$item is the name of the file

unlink($dir.$item);

I can create directories and files fine, but when I come to delete them it wont do it. Unlink always returns false. Im using IIS 6 w/ PHP5 on Windows Server 2003. So I tried the system( del " " ) command and that didnt work either. Im kinda new to IIS so im not sure how to check/set the permissions for the PHP script to delete a file, but do I even need to since I was able to create directories/files already?

Strem_wrapper_register(unlink

i would imagine that this poses a security risk, but again-- this is going on a private site where i'd hope not to receive uninvited visitors. hmmm...

Rename And Unlink Script Please
I am trying to upload a file and then rename the file as something else.
Everything worked fine unless the renamed filename already existed. So I added
some extra code to check if the filename already existed and if so to delete it
before renaming the uploaded file. Everything now works fine in the following
code:

$uploaddir = 'images/'
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
echo '<pre>'
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
$imagefilename = $_POST['imagefilename'];
$renamedfile = $uploaddir . $imagefilename;
if (file_exists($renamedfile)) {
unlink($renamedfile);
}
rename($uploadfile , $renamedfile);
}
else {
echo "There was an error in your file upload.
";
echo 'Here is some more debugging info:'
print_r($_FILES);
}

That seems like a lot of code to do something relatively simple. So my question
is, is there a simpler way like forcing the rename function to overwrite an
existing file with the same filename if it exists.
