[PHP] Deleting a read-only file (Windows)
Hi there, I'm trying to delete a file using PHP's unlink() function (on Windows). This works fine on writable files but fails when trying to delete read-only files. How can I delete read-only files? Is there a function available to change the permissions? Any help greatly appreciated.

unlink() works fine apart from when trying to delete read-only files. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Untested, but try setting permissions on the file via chmod('name', 0777).

According to the manual This function is not implemented on Windows
platforms. Gave it a go though and it works!
Cheers Dan,
Neil
