Help cant delete files on folders via ftp or php script.

[Paul_Ferrie]

I had some problems with an upload script i was working on. This has resulted in what has been uploaded undeletable:S
File that havebeen upload have there chmod set to 644. I tried changing this in the delete script but i am getting an error

chmod(): Operation not permitted

So i tried to delete via my ftp prog and get the same problem.

Does anyone know of a solution??
here's the delete script i have

$filepath = "../../media/portfolio/".$clID."/";
if ($handle = opendir($filepath)) {
	while (false !== ($file1 = readdir($handle))) {
		if ($file1 != "." && $file1 != "..") {
		$old = umask(0);
		chmod($filepath.$file1, 0755);
			$del = unlink($filepath.$file1);
			umask($old);
		}
	}	
	closedir($handle);
	$del2 = rmdir("../../media/portfolio/".$clID);
}	

thanks for any help

hmm... just taking a wild stab here, but perhaps you need to chown the file?

I thought that but i dont see any working example is in the php manual.

Warning: chown(): Operation not permitted

Right i have one folder and one final set of images that just wont delete

$filepath = $clID."/";
if ($handle = opendir($filepath)) {
	while (false !== ($file1 = readdir($handle))) {
		if ($file1 != "." && $file1 != "..") {
			chown($filepath.$file1, 'localhost');
			$del = unlink($filepath.$file1);
		}
	}	
	closedir($handle);
	$del2 = rmdir($clID);
}	
if($del2){
echo "complete";
}
