If you cannot delete via the php functions or via system calls, then you
have a permission problem.
What user/group is Apache running as?
What is the output of 'ls -al' for the files

Apache to the best of my knowledge runs as nobody by default and since I
didn't change any settings, it is probably running as nobody.
This is what I got with ls -al
rahul:/Library/WebServer/Documents/informed-sources.com/imsafm bob$ ls -al
total 16

I guess it was the syntax which was the problem! Finally it works!!
system(rm -rf $user_dir, $ret_val);
Works perfectly... Removes folder!
Thanks a TON!

Instead of speculating, find out for certain by using phpinfo().

The reason this works is because you are doing a recursive remove of
the directory. The PHP rmdir() does not remove a directory with
contents in it. If you modify your script so that it walks the users
directory and removes each file and subdirectory then it would
probally have worked correctly.

To be able to delete directories, you need:

PHP probably does not have permission to change those files. chmod 777
and it should work.
However now those files are writable by anyone. If you're on a shared
server there could be problems later.

Well here's my situation...
You see the File Manager allows users to Upload files ... Once a user
uploads the file... It resides in a particular folder on my server. Users
will be constantly uploading, downloading, deleting files. I can't possibly
CHMOD 777 all the time...
My question is...
the chmod 666 sets the exisiting files to be edited by the server.
anything that's uploaded by the server is owned by it, and thusly can be
edited.
as a side note, you'd have to chmod 777 the directory to be edited if
you want uploads to work.
