[SOLVED] Unlink problem on a Windows Server


TecTao

Recommended Posts

Help please.  I'm trying to remove images from a directory outside of the directory where the delete script resides using the unlink command.  I've used it a million times but this time the application resides on a Windows OS.  The directory structure is:

 

Image is located _imgs/fab_imgs/$img

 

Delete script: _admin-flg/delete_fab_imgs_submitted.php

 

 

On a Unix server the script I would normally be using for unlinking would be the full pagh to the image:

 

$myFile2 = "/home/worldbox/public_html/_imgs/fab_imgs/$img";

unlink($myFile2);

 

 

Unfortunately, this application is on a Windows OS and trying to get the path and permissions is causing me to pull my hair out.  Running echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; returns E:\http\florida-gl.com .  So combing the usual page to the directories and files doesn't make sense.

 

So I tried the following which would make sense:

 

$myFile2 = "../_imgs/fab_imgs/$img";

unlink($myFile2);

 

I get the following error:

 

Warning: unlink(../_imgs/fab_imgs/CopyFabrication01_1.jpg) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in E:\http\florida-glass.com\_admin-flg\fab_delete_submitted.php on line 30

 

I can only set the permissions to rw,rw,rw

 

So I'm i need of a little direction.
