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)
