Hi there,

I'd greatly appreciate any insights into the following problem:

I've got PHP running fine on IIS (OS: Server 2003, SP1; IIS: 6.0; PHP:
4.3.11).

In PHP, the user uploads a file, which is then processed and the
contents are inserted into a new file, created in PHP, onto the server.

This bit works fine, the new file created by PHP is correctly stored.

Later, once the user confirms the upload and PHP inserts the contents
of the file into the DB, the code tries to remove the file created in
PHP moments earlier, via the unlink() function.

What I see on screen is the following: Permission denied

I have made sure that the permissions for the Internet account that
created (and is trying to delete) the file have full permissions over
this particular folder and the files within it. But the user must have
permission anyway, because they are able to create this file in the
first place.

I've looked at the permissions for the file in PHP, which read: 0666.
So everthing *appears* ok to me; I can't see where the permission issue
is coming from.

Anyone got any ideas?

TIA,

Lorenzo.
