Delete file in the server

[Anon]

Dear all,

Through php, I would like to delete files in the server, the filename is extracted from the database and The file is deleted using the following statement

---

$delete = unlink("img/".${$file});
if($delete)
{
echo "Successfully deleted";
}
else
{
echo "Could not delete";

}

but the error prompts out,

Warning: Unlink failed (Permission denied) in d:\apache group\apache\htdocs\school\php\upload\upload3.php on line 15

Please give me helping hand, thanks

Simon

"Permission denied" indicates that it's most likely that the Apache user (probably nobody) doesn't have write access to the directory. Also try replacing the slash with a backslash since your server seems to be on a Windows (yuch!) platform.
