sanfly Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hi GuysIm trying to use unlink() to delete an image on my home computer server (WAMP5), but am getting the following error:[quote]Warning: unlink(images/users/) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in C:\server\www\NZSO\users.php on line 1218[/quote]Any ideas on what to do to get around this?Cheers Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/30196-unlink-permission-denied/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifter Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 well depending on your set up, if you create a file say with FTP, and one with a script, they will have different owners, so you will get this error if you delete the wrong file with the wrong method.

sanfly Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 Well, the file is just an image that I uploaded using my upload script, I would assume if I could upload images I should be able to delete?Any further comments/suggestions?

linuxdream Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Did you check the permisisons of the file like drifter said? If you uploaded and wrote the file using fwrite or something like that, it is probably owned by www-data or whatever your wed server's system user is (even if your upoad script was run by you). You would need to change either the owner/group and/or relax safe_mode to match GID and not UID. Creating and removing files through PHP is difficult to get right given the security/permission problems.
