You cant unlink() a file that you opened in the same script before with fopen(). If you try to unlink a file opened with fopen() earlier you will get a "permission denied" php error - thats because the file was locked by fopen(), close the file pointer and then unlink() the file! This took me hours because I didnt know fopen() locks the file. cheers, m.k. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+28527 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+28527 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+28527
