PHP: deleting files – permission denied – chmod?
- by mathiregister
hi guys,
i want to delete files from a directory via php.
Somehow my php_errorlog always tells me:
[06-Jun-2010 19:38:46] PHP Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /Users/myname/htdocs/
if ($_POST) {
echo "yeah!!!";
print count($_POST['deletefiles']);
chmod($path, 0777); //server rights
foreach ($_POST['deletefiles'] as $value) {
print $value;
unlink($path .'/' . $value);
}
//chmod($path, 0666); //server rights
}
what am I doing wrong? Thank you
