opening and deleting files

[tallberg]

Hi i want to delete file in a certain dir.

When i use the following code i am unable to open file in the dir call uploaded.

If this is a permision thing, how do i changing the dir and file permissions on a wamp set up on windows?

$myFile = "dfd.jpg";
$fh = fopen(uploaded/$myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
//fclose($fh);

//unlink($myFile);

This the error message.
Warning: Division by zero in C:\wamp\www\httpdocs\catalogue2\unlink.php on line 10
can't open file

Thanks in advance

Hey Tallberg,

I would recommend installing an FTP server on your machine, such as Serv-U or FileZilla and use their functions to manipulate permissions.

Hope that helps,

Barry

This is what I have, and it works fine
[code]
$tmpfile = "$file";
unlink($tmpfile);
[/code]

That works for me too but not in another dir.

Change this line:
[code]<?php
$fh = fopen(uploaded/$myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
?>[/code]

to
[code]<?php
$fh = fopen('uploaded/' . $myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
?>[/code]

The problem is that you didn't quote the fixed part of the filename and PHP thought you were trying to perform a division statement.
