I have a made a text fiel in flash where i type in the path to a pic on the server which should be erased. then i crated a save button calling the above php script.  
Both really simple. I have set the permissions for the folders on the server but it doesn erase the file.

Here is the flash:

erase.onRelease = function() {  
\_level1.loadVariables(“erase\_files.php”, “POST”);};

Here is the php: \<?php  
@unlink($erase\_image);  
?\>

The variable being passe dfrom flash is $erase\_image.  
Anyone know how to do this?
