#23687 [NEW]: Permission denied error with unlink()

From: a dot eibach at gmx dot net Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.3.2RC3 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: Permission denied error with unlink() Hi. I can see this has been discussed multiple times in this forum: however, there's no real solution for it, it seems. First my specs: - Apache 1.3.27 (<- could that be it?) - PHP 4.3.2 RC3 (PHP running as a *module* (dll)) - Win2k I scanned the news groups about this problem, where lots of people claimed this to work. However, even such a simple script here: <?php if (!is_dir("thisisatest")) { mkdir ("thisisatest"); } else echo "Dir creation skipped. Dir already exists."; echo "Waiting ..."; sleep(3); echo "done."; unlink ("thisisatest"); ?> fails on my system with a Permission denied error. Tips to 'chmod' the current directory are fruitless, because this is WINDOWS and not UNIX and there are no permissions like this. I do not intend to use OS-specific stuff like 'del' or 'rm', combined with the system() command. I also tested with PHP 4.0.6 and also failed. Warning: Unlink failed (Permission denied) in d:\devel\www\apache\apache\htdocs\testme.php on line 14 I'd be happy if you could help me with this and/or fix this problem with Windows systems. Some php ML entry told about this being fixed shortly after 4.0.x, but this might as well have been another issue. Thanks. -ae- -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23687&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23687&r=gnused
