Hi Damodhar,

PHP is just a process, so it runs as a certain user.
Since you installed Xamp, you run Apache.
I am not very knowledgable when it comes to Xamp (I install all by
hand), but I never saw an Apache with a username other that:
- www-data
- nobody
- apache

Look them up in your useradministration thingy.

Then you know which user runs PHP (via Apache).

Make sure that user has rights on the directory or file you want to unlink.

Regards,
Erwin Moller

Try a Windows newsgroup. They can help you with Windows settings.

As you've already been told, this is off-topic.

Right click on the folder icon, choose "Properties" and go to the
"Security" tab. Add there the appropriate user and grant the desired
permissions.

What's the user? If you run Apache as a regular program then the user is
*you*. If you run Apache as service then you must find out. Hit Win+R
and type "services.msc". Find "Apache" in the list and double click on
it. The user is specified in the second tab ("Iniciar sesión" in
Spanish, not sure about English versions of Windows). If you're hitting
permission issues I suggest you create a Windows user for Apache and set
it there, rather than using the LOCAL_SYSTEM default user.

... make sure nothing else is using the file. File locking in
MSWindows is very greedy.
