PHP - unlink() returning true, but not deleting file

[kbjradmin]

I am using the following PHP function to recursively delete directories:

class Classname{
//...

public function rmdir($dir) {
    if (is_dir($dir)) {
        $objects = scandir($dir);
        foreach ($objects as $object) {
            if ($object != "." && $object != "..") {
                chmod("$dir/$object", 0777);
                if (filetype("$dir/$object") == "dir")
                    $this->rmdir("$dir/$object");
                else unlink("$dir/$object");
            }
        }
        reset($objects);
        rmdir($dir);
    } 
}

//...
} 

The unlink() call is returning false (i tested it by wrapping it in a var_dump() call), but the file is not being deleted. I really have no idea what is wrong here. Help?

Are the files chowed to your account?

Is unlink returning true or false? The thread title says one thing, your post another. If it's returning false, use set_error_handler to capture the error or error_reporting (temporarily) to output it. The former is what you should do in production code, the latter for quick & dirty debugging.
