Trying To Delete A File Using Unlink
i am trying to delete a file using the unlink function but it just is not working. i just get the Could not delete message. Is there anyway to find out exactly what is wrong? I've tried the exact path which is C:/domain/wwwroot/temp/0000000.txt but it just does not delete. Also i dont think it can be related to permissions because the 0000000.txt was created automatically by a script. The code i used is as follows:
<?
$delete = unlink("C:/domain/wwwroot/temp/0000000.txt");
if($delete)
{
echo "Succesfully Deleted";
}
else
{
echo "Could not Delete";
}
?>

Unlink (delete Files) With Asterix's?
is it possible to delete a file and use an asterix? (or any wildcard) ie, I tried @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..

Deleting Files Using Unlink [function.unlink]: Permission Denied
I have a record in the db and a picture file name recorded with that record. I am writing a deletion routine which checks that file name and is supposed to delete it using unlink. Although it reports the correct directory and file name, I received the following: Warning: unlink(/home/pab/html/pics/test.jpg) [function.unlink]: Permission denied I checked my permissions and the file is set at my user name and 666. Does anyone know why this won't work or maybe another way to delete the 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.

File Delete
I need to delete a compressed backup file after it has been sucessfully uploaded to a ftp server, the upload works fine using CRON and a php page. I have tried to delete the file using: <? $oldfile = "/home/#*$!/backup-10.8.2005_07-00-01_yyy.tar.gz"; unlink($oldfile); ?> However I get a permission denied, what's wrong? Also, I don't know the exact file name, so what I really want to do is wildcard the file name like this: <? $oldfile = "/home/xxx/backup-*_yyy.tar.gz"; unlink($oldfile); ?> Is this possible?

Delete From Db If Not In Excel File
A while back I had written a script for a client who had wanted to upload an excel file for his clients that contained their inventory information. I had it set so everytime he would upload the file it would check the information in the file against that already stored in the db. If a row in the db contained a certain field like an account number. It would make any changes that were made to that field or if none were made it would leave it be. If there were any new rows in the file it would upload those. Code:
