in response to rich at pulse8design dot com; also, if, for instance you were calling system('rm /home/foo.bar'); and the script was later moved to a windows server, this line would need to be changed as the rm command only exists on un*x, however, unlink would still work, providing the paths were the same, I use something like; config.php: <? define('SERVER_PATH_TO_WEB_ROOT','/home/httpdoc/foo',FALSE); ?> deleter.php: <? include('config.php'); unlink(SERVER_PATH_TO_WEB_ROOT."/myfile.bar"); ?> this way, I only have to change one setting if the server structure changes, and I don't need to worry about un*x / windows issues (as much) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32867 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32867&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32867&report=yes
