Hi all,
That was really helpful. I was having the same problem and i googled a lot for
the solution. but couldnt find any handy solution.
After reading this one i got the problem that most of the time we open the file
and then try delete the file without even closing (using fclose()) the file.
Thats why we get the error that permission was denied.
Thanks for saving my time and server space. lolz

YES!
And I just figured it out!
As I said "I wanted to keep it simple".
The whole stuff happened in a
if ($newdirhandle = @opendir($newdirname))
{
...
}
construct, and *THAT* was causing the problem.
You **must** do a closedir() _BEFORE_ doing this renaming stuff because you're
blocking everything otherwise.
Frankly, I thought these two could interact independently of each other, but in
fact, they're working closely together.
Anyway, thanks for your reactions.

to sniper:
actually, this was problems with rename(), not unlink() at first instant in my
script.
But since I claim to know that rename() does a copy(), then uses unlink()
afterwards, the 'perm. denied' error hadn't to do with rename(), but with
unlink().
Yes, rmdir() works now (THANKS!) but I still have problems with unlink()'ing
files sometimes.
I admit this script was a very bad example. :|
I tried to keep it simple, but that was too simple...
