delete a file with unlink

Anon

I am currently having trouble deleting files using unlink.

this is my code:

<?php
echo\" $filename has been deleted\";
$current_dir = \"/www/groupvertical/pelleleathers/images/$section\";
opendir(current_dir);
unlink($filename);
?>

my error is:

Warning: OpenDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /www/groupvertical/pelleleathers/admin/delete.php on line 10
Warning: Unlink failed (No such file or directory) in /www/groupvertical/pelleleathers/admin/delete.php on line 11

thanks for any help!!!

You don't need opendir() to call unlink()
Your directory "/www/groupvertical/pelleleathers/images/" does not exist. Are you sure this is the ABSOLUTE dir name?! www doesn't sound like something that is often seen in root dir...

Would the root address be the same as when I am uploading and browsing these files I want to delete.

This is where I have gotten this address from.

thanks much!

Root directory is one and only, so I don't understand your question.

Still, check getcwd() to see the active dir (the one your script runs in) and phpinfo() to see all the important dirs' absolute paths (i.e. for $DOCUMENT_ROOT). This might give you the idea what your dir's absolute name really is.

Good luck!
