I am trying to dledte images out of a folder using its name stord in the database but i cant seem to get it working, it either tells me that the file or directory doesn't exist or that the image_name hasnt been defined. Can anyone help me with this please....thanks in advance

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

if ($delete) {

$dirs="/files/catagories/images/";
unlink($dirs.$image_name);
$sql = "DELETE FROM general WHERE id=$id";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

You should try to put the full file name
in a variable and print that before unlink()

Also : is \'catagories\' the real name of the
directory ? no mistyping here ?

Try to check the rights (on Unix filesystems)
of all the directories involved

You need write permissions on the file you are trying to delete. When I say you, I mean your script (which is probably running as Apache, or Nobody). That is, if you are on *nix

Unlink does not work on win98 with some versions of PHP. Check docs to make sure your setup allows unlink().
