remove file from directory

[Anon]

Hello Everyone!

I have graphics displayed from my logo directory. Beside each logo is a remove button.

When you click the remove button it goes to the removeFile function and send the site root and directory along with the file name (26.gif).

Does anyone know how to remove this file?? I have:
if (!unlink ($vRemoveFile))
print("failed to delete $vRemoveFile, please contact administrator.<br>\n");
}

This gives me error message of:
Unlink failed (Operation not permitted)

Any ideas??

Thanks for taking the time to read my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The web user obviously doesn't have the correct permissions to delete the file. Change the permissions and try again.

Tom's right the webserver probably doesn't have persmission to the file. under linux the web server runs as nobody, so chown your files as nobody and you should be good to go.

chown (as root) the entire directory like:

chown -R nobody /home/httpd/html/dynamicimages/

or whatever directory you want to chown.
