How to delete file with php in win 2000

tukang_minta

Hi... there....

i am a new be in php programming, i wonder how to delete a file with php, because i am not found, the function that can delete file under win OS, but i found the function that run under linux (use unlink)....

Is there any idea, how to delete file under windows with php...??

thanx...

[man]unlink/man is the delete command. I see no reason why it shouldn't work on win2K ...

Do a condition check with [man]is_writable/man previous to your unlink() call ... maybe that's the problem. Unlike win98, windoze 2000 has file permissions ...

The alternatives I can think of would be to use shell commands via [man]shell_exec/man, [man]passthru/man, or backticks, etc...

HTH,

Indeed, you must use unlink() on windoze --- there is no other native command to delete files ... I'm sure there's another reason (file permissions, probably ) why you're having this problem ...
