problem using unlink()

[James Brash]

Hi,
I have a problem using unlink(); on a system using FreeBSD and Apache...
where my local system using Windows and Apache experiences no problems.

<?
unlink("test1.php");
?>

On the windows system is deletes the file, but on the FBSD system the file
does not delete and returns no error. I have tried using the full path, and
CHMODing the files but no luck. Thanks for any help/advice you can give me.

Hello,

I'd suggest to have a look at your php.ini and see the value of some
execute external commands. Don't remember exactly the name of this flag.

Make sure your error_reporting flag is turned on to the fullest
value, I usually apply this in a script to ensure all flags are
turned on:
error_reporting(-1);

Php should output some sort of text that is causing unlink to fail.

You need to chmod or chown the directory where the file is located.
