change/delete folder

[nobodaddy]

Hello - i am working on a server that's in safe mode, and having trouble renaming/deleting folders. I can create them, but no luck renaming or deleting them. Any ideas or workarounds? much appreciate the help!

$10 says you need to chmod the folder/file to 777.

php.net seems to be down now or I'd give you a link to that function.

It's pretty much something like this:

chmod ('path/to/folder/', 0777); 

then you'll be able to have it rename delete etc. those files/folders

thanks - note: i think this is the correct area of the forum, though i should have been more specific in saying that I am trying to do this with PHP.

interestingly enough, the folders were set to 777 - stumped. thanks for the help though.
