Syntax

[Anon]

Is this syntax correct :

exec ( "rm -f /path/htdocs/images/$row[codice].jpg" );

what I mean is that the . after the $row[codice] could be also a PHP link and also the name of the file extension...

thank you

I don't understand what you mean by PHP link

do you mean
$row[codice].jpg

could stand for
$row[1].jpg = "blablabla";

??? is that the question?
well, doing the ..." . "... should do it
..., maybe,...

exec ("rm -f /path/htdocs/images/$row[codice]" . ".jpg");

it's also a good idea if you write an abstraction function like

/ function /
function my_rm($opt, $path, $file){
$ext = "jpg";
exec("rm $opt $path$file$ext");
}

/ call to function /
my_rm("-f", $imagepath, $row[codice]);

you can even add $ext to the function parameters...

I'm also curious:
what are you doing with "rm -f .... .jpg?";

I know nothing 'bout unix but i'm curious what i'd be able to do with my sites with all those functions external to php and programs you can execute...

Thank you for your useful reply!

About the rm -f command, it is needed to me to directly delete (or compy) files to the Unix server.

In this way it doesn't ask for confirmation and also it works also if file does not exist like could be...

Hope this is what you ask for.
