unlink failure

[korayberk]

For the following two lines,

chmod($DeleteCommentName,0755);
unlink($DeleteCommentName);

I get the warnings:
Warning: chmod failed: Operation not permitted in [scriptname]on line 191
Warning: Unlink failed (Permission denied) in [scriptname] on line 192

So I did:
print ("MyGuid is ".getmyuid()." fileperms ".fileperms($DeleteCommentName)." fileowner ". fileowner($DeleteCommentName)."<br>\n");

that returned:
MyGuid is 535 fileperms 33188 fileowner 535

So file owner and script guid are the same, but I cant unlink. Anyone, any solutions?

PS: The file was created by another script. If thats the reason, what should that script do so that this script can delete its files?

Thanxç.

Please check the permissions of the directory in which the file is stored ...

It was 755. When changed to 766 a different error occured.
It worked when 777.

But isnt that a dangerous thing to do? :eek:
What does it mean to leave a directory executable to public.

Can any random script delete my files????

No - the directory x-flag allows someone to change into or select the directory not to execute it - that's different to a files x-flag which allows someone to execute this file.

(Sorry for my english, but I hope you can understand what I mean)
