RE: [PHP] PHP unlink Permission Error

Hi, Ashley: I thought about it and edited my script to check what permission I had, and it appears I do have the permission rights, and it actually changed to 0777. Here is the code: <?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL); $curDir = getcwd(); chmod($curDir,0777) or die ("Failed to change permission"); echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($curDir)), -4); unlink("testFile.txt"); echo unlink("testFile.txt"); ?> The output: 0777Warning: unlink(testFile.txt) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\project\file_write.php on line 10Warning: unlink(testFile..txt) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\project\file_write.php n line 11If this is the case, how come I don't have the permissions to delete the file? Thanks again.
