Thank you for your reply.
I have since discovered that the latest version of PHP (4.0.6) has actually
*enabled* the unlink() function! So it's not just for UNIX anymore! But it
has also *disabled* the exec("del $file"); way of doing it! What I want to
know is why isn't it mentioned in the changes log at the php.net website?
