OT: PHP unlink()

It appears that permissions are being set at 666 when I upload the file.
This is devil spawn for sure....

OK - different tack.

This markup -

<?php
$string='..\\images\\users\\Murray\\ed.jpg';
echo($string."\n\r");
echo(is_file($string)?'File exists':'File doesn\'t exist');
unlink($string);
?>

Gives this output -

..\images\users\Murray\ed.jpg File exists
Warning: unlink(..\images\users\Murray\ed.jpg) [function.unlink]: Permission
denied in
W:\Webspace\resadmin\madison\madisonconcrete.com\www\manage\x-unlink.php on
line 13

Gah....

It may not solve your problem, but you don't need to use the
concatenation operator to interpolate $userName:

unlink("..\\images\\users\\$userName\\".$_POST['images']);

I guess there is something I'm just not getting here -

unlink("..\\images\\users\\".$userName."\\".$_POST['images']);

That line (line 82) gives me this error -

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in
W:\Webspace\resadmin\madison\madisonconcrete.com\www\manage\m_users_update.php
on line 82

Are you running into the same slash/backslash issue you ran into with
your mkdir() issue?
