I have been working on some little tryout where a backup file was created before modifying the main
textfile. Then when an error is thrown, the main file will be deleted (unlinked) and the backup file
is returned instead.
Though, I have been breaking my head for about an hour on why I couldn't get my persmissions
right to unlink the main file.
Finally I knew what was wrong: because I was working on the file and hadn't yet closed the
file, it was still in use and ofcourse couldn't be deleted :)
So I thought of mentoining this here, to avoid others of making the same mistake:
<?php
// First close the file
fclose($fp);
// Then unlink :)
unlink($somefile);
?>
