problem with deleting files

[aprinc]

I want to delete files from directory. File name is stored in database. But something went wrong using unlink().
Any ideas or solutions.

Here is the code:
$connect = mysql_connect("mysql.my.com","user","pass");
mysql_select_db("dbname", $connect);
$query = "SELECT filename FROM home WHERE id=1";
$result = mysql_query($query, $connect);

unlink("../tmp/images/$filename");

print("<center><span class='head'>File deleted");

And result:
Warning: Unlink failed (Not owner) in /user/htdocs/test/delete_file.php3 on line 31

sounds like you don't have the correct permissions, make sure you have read/write permissions for users, use chmod 766

I have permissions to directory.

Files are already stored in directory with:
copy($form_data,"../tmp/images/$form_data_name");
