Re: latest version of PHP won't let you....

Thank you for your reply. I have since discovered that the latest version of PHP (4.0.6) has actually *enabled* the unlink() function! So it's not just for UNIX anymore! But it has also *disabled* the exec("del $file"); way of doing it! What I want to know is why isn't it mentioned in the changes log at the php.net website? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://www.webmastersdog.com where website owners go. and talk about stuff. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Glenn Pickett" <gpickett@gpick.net> wrote in message news:20010725151155.24265.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > > "Del" is a DOS command.
