Creating/Deleting Files

Anon

Is there a setting for this in the PHP.ini? I have made a simple form that does only this.

<?php
touch("myfile.txt");
?>

Now, what is wrong with that? It don't work for me, unless i'm looking in the wrong spot. I checked the folder where i'm running that script from, and no file was created. The same goes for the Unlink command. What is wrong?

Do you have write permissions on the directory? Actually, it's not you who has to have this permission, it's the user who runs web-server (very often - www).

Where do I set these user permissions at?

What operating system do you use for web-server?

I use Win2K, using IIS!

Umm... then I'm not much help here. Check who's running web-server and what are the permissions for the directory you're writing to. If I not mistaken, it must be something like "Security" tab under Properties dialog.

Well, I'm not a win2k expert, but it seems to me that I'v enabled everything I can. The only thing I think could cause a problem is the PHP.ini, but I wouldn't know what to change in that!
