allows code other than yours to run. Buffer overflows were notorious

I see that you are using windows. For windows only the write permission for
the folder and file isn't enough. You need to change the owner ship of the
file as well so that u have privilege to delete.

So the behaviour is at least partially shell/profile dependent...

The reason this works is because you are doing a recursive remove of
the directory. The PHP rmdir() does not remove a directory with
contents in it. If you modify your script so that it walks the users
directory and removes each file and subdirectory then it would
probally have worked correctly.

If you cannot delete via the php functions or via system calls, then you

working fine.
I had presumed that anything uploaded by the server is owned by it thus I
wouldn't have to interfere with the permissions thereafter... But somehow
that doesn't seem to be working out.
I did actually set
the chmod 666 sets the exisiting files to be edited by the server.
anything that's uploaded by the server is owned by it, and thusly can be
edited.
as a side note, you'd have to chmod 777 the directory to be edited if
you want uploads to work.

Ave,
Well here's my situation...
You see the File Manager allows users to Upload files ... Once a user
uploads the file... It resides in a particular folder on my server. Users
will be constantly uploading, downloading, deleting files. I can't possibly
CHMOD 777 all the time...
My question is...

Default setup? Probably nobody/nobody. Check your
PHP probably does not have permission to change those files. chmod 777
and it should work.
However now those files are writable by anyone. If you're on a shared
server there could be problems later.

For security reasons Apache typically runs as "nobody"

Any suggestions?
Neither of these functions return an error. They will return false on
failure. Does the user/group which your web server is running as have
permission to remove these
Ave,
I do not really know what the problem is because I don't get an error, and
in fact my scripts execute fine... Except that, niether is the directory
deleted, nor is the file deleted. Only corresponding database entries are
deleted which I specify in my SQL code.
There are 2 different function
Yea, got that. Fixed hte problem. Thanks

See my other post on this one. I don't know, maybe a bug in M$ Outlook or
something. (Whistling and looking away from the issues) :-)

Unless you change the permissions of the file, the run the FTP as nobody, run
apache as the ftp user, run apache as root (can't believe I even said that...
blasphemy!), etc., it shouldn't be possible.
If you find a way to do it w/out any of the above, I'd suggest you email the

Hi,
How can have a php script unlink/delete a file uploaded via FTP?
Usually a ftp-uploaded file belongs to the ftp user, and a php
script is running by apache/nobody. Seems like there shouldn't
be any way to do this...OK, my situation is that I want a php script
to this: it can move bulk uploade
At 16:42 26-2-03, you wrote:
$result=unlink('$dir_to_upload/$row->Photo');
what do you get when you echo
echo htmlspecialchars('$dir_to_upload/$row->Photo');
and do you use the full file path? Images accept relative links but in my
experience PHP's file handling functions want the full path.

Hi,
You can use the backtick operator to delete whatever you have
permissions to delete:
$directory = "path/*.*";
`rm -rf $directory`;
They aren't quotes, they are backticks (to the left of the 1 key on most
keyboards). It is very useful for any command line stuff you have
permissions to do.
