Well, Windows seems to be *VERY* sensitive about this.
This thing didn't let me loose, and I just used the Task Manager and
killed the 'Explorer' Task - another one was initiated by Windows.
Now it worked!
I will test this through further and append some delays using sleep().
It might be that actions just get executed _too fast_ and Windows can't
follow as quickly as Linux.

Try reading the manual sometimes..file != directory.

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.
