Hi, i am trying to unlink an image but i cant seem to get the code right this is what i am doing....

<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?id=$myrow[id],image_name=$myrow[image_name]&delete=yes\">DELETE</a></td></tr>

if ($delete) {

unlink("images/image_name");
$sql = "DELETE FROM general WHERE id=$id";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
}

I am faily new to this stuff so i am not sure what i have done wrong here, i have tried unlink("images/$image_name"); but that says that i havent specified image_name, and the other says that no such file or directory exists....i would appreciate any help you can give me....thanks

<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?id=$myrow[id],image_name=$myrow[image_name]&delete=yes\">DELETE</a></td></tr>

there is a colon after "id=$myrow[id]" it should be an "&" maybe thats the bug ...

changes to
<?php
echo
"<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?".id=$myrowid]."&image_name=".$myrow[image_name]."&delete=yes\">DELETE</a>";

if($deleted=="yes"){
##you must specify exacly path {good idea}:
##like /var/www/html/images/images1.gif

images/images1.gif {I think this bad}

php don't know this

$dirs="/var/www/html/images/"; //or another U re rootdirs

good idea is:

$dirs=get_cfg_var ("DocumentRoot") ."/images/" ;

unlink($dirs.$image_name);

if $image_name content image1.gif

will be deleted file name:

/var/www/html/images/image1.gif

}

##that alls, now smile 🙂

U can use @unlink() to catch errors

if there no images then no errors warning will displayed or :

if( ! @unlink( $dirs.$image_name) ) echo " sorry no that images not exist";
