It probably isn't supported in windows. Unlink is (in C) in the unistd.h file. It provides a way to remove a file based on the unlink syscall (which i sincerly doubt is available from Win32). Looking at php.net/unlink... yep fourth comment: "unlink() function dosen't work with windows98, but it

Unlink function isn't broken, you just don't have the correct rights set on the files, so PHP can't erase them, fix the permissions and that will take care of that error. Adam Voigt [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 2002-10-31 at 12:46, Andres, Cyrille wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I upload some files on

Yeah they are, actaully I switched it to a static name and then added the time stamp as part of the information I'm gathering. Now I just re-write the file on each log in. John Holmes wrote: >You can't use wildcards. Use a system() or exec() call to do it. > >Why use the datetime part at all?
