I am using unlink() function to delete the folders under assets folder that yii automatically generate. but it gives me the file permission error.
I am using wamp on windows. and also set the folder permission settings in the folder properties and also un-check the read-only option in the properties. but still have the issue.
error is unlink(C:\wamp\www\mysite\assets\8ccb2dcf): Permission denied
my code is

$files = glob('C:\wamp\www\mysite\assets\*');
    foreach($files as $file){
    if(file_exists($file)){
        //here we need to give the permission.
        chmod($file,0755);

    unlink($file); // delete file
    echo 'inside';
    }

Why is it necessary to chmod before unlink? The assets files are owned by the web server user (the one that runs Apache). – Vasilis Lourdas Apr 11 '15 at 19:23
I have set the rights for every users in the folder properties. – NK143 Apr 12 '15 at 06:03
If so... try @chmod($file,0777); – tnchalise Apr 12 '15 at 08:25

Reading your error message, you first need to verify if you are deleting a file or directory, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3338123/how-do-i-recursively-delete-a-directory-and-its-entire-contents-files-sub-dir – Alejandro Quiroz Apr 14 '15 at 01:48
I have also tried but same issue. – NK143 Apr 14 '15 at 05:34
