Delete a File - Part 2

[Anon]

Alright I got some errors out of they way, here's what I do, I create a file and then chmod it like this in one part of my script:

$fp = fopen ("../inc/$textfile", "w");
fwrite ($fp, $left_bar);
fclose ($fp);
chmod ("../inc/$textfile", 0777);

Now I'm wanting to delete that file, My delete script looks like this:

<PRE>
<?php

$d = dir("/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/flexmo.com/httpdocs/inc");
$delete = $delete + ".txt";

if ($entry == $delete)
{
echo "$entry";
unlink("../inc/$entry");
exit;
}
else
{
echo "Can't delete $entry";
}

?>
</PRE>

Then i get an Unlinking error. Did I miss something?

Warning: Unlink failed (Permission denied) in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/flexmo.com/httpdocs/test2/delete.php on line 9

When are you assinging a value to the $delete variable, as it isnt shown above and without it it wont know what file to delete.

Well, it says "permission denied".
Do you (I mean: your www user, typically named "www" or "wwwrun") have proper permissions for file manipulating in that directory? Seems not. on the unix/linux shell, try man chmod, man chown, or ask your admin.

Well i chmod the file "in the script" after it is created 0777. For some reason the permission are not set I don't get it 🙁
