auto-deleting PHP script ?

[Michel V]

Quick question:
Is it possible to make a PHP script that deletes itself after execution ?
Do I have to chmod it writeable first ?

Can't you just use unlink("script.php"); in your script?

What Shin Ma meant was...so be able to delete itself after executing the entire script.Much like an uninstall script..

after running through the uninstall procedures..it removes itself too for a clean uninstall..

[seanf]

He would use unlink in his script to delete itself after it has executed successfully

I'll try unlink then. Thanks a lot

Edit: oops, won't delete itself even after I chmoded it 777. I'll make a redirection to another script to delete it, then.
