exec("del c:\apache\htdocs\file.txt");

[eelco]

I run the program PHP traid for windows98 on my CPU. When use the command exec("del c:\apache\htdocs\file.txt"); the program PHP traid crashes en so does my CPU.
The URL in the command is correct so that can't be the problem.
The command unlink() doesn't work on apache for windows.

Does enybody know what's wrong with te command, or do you know an alternative command.

Thanks in advance

I dont know about you but unlink works fine when i tried it on a Win98 System running Apache & PHP4

It realy doesn't work on my PC.
How is apache installed on your pc?
(I don't know if there are more ways?)

Hi Earl,

I posted this topic a long time ago.
I now got a newer version of apache on my PC, so now the unlink command from PHP works perfect.

Thanks anyway.
