I did get the unlink function, thanks to cgraz with helping me on the checkboxes which I used with a different twist. For some reason calling up the specific array still won't come up as it opens up all the files from that directory to display on checkboxes.
Basically, I need it to only display the images submitted (uploaded) to that particular ID that I'm looking to delete and it seems mysql_fetch_array is not the solution. When I do try to call it up, the text for the checkboxes only name itself as "Array" and not as the files in the directory.
Is there a way to call only the specific array of files up uploaded within that ID?
//refer to particular imagesetID where records for imagefile are being stored
$query = "SELECT * FROM screenshots";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('error making query');
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$imagesetID = $row['ID'];
$file = $row['imagefile'];
}
$path = './files/';
extract($_POST);
if($submit)
{
for($i = 0; $i < count($files); $i++)
{
unlink($path.$files[$i]);
}
echo 'These files are deleted...<p>';
}
else
{
echo '<form action="" method="post">';
echo 'Are you sure you want to delete this whole set of images?<br>';
$open = opendir($path);
while($file = readdir($open))
{
if($file != '.' && $file != '..' && !is_dir($file))
{
echo '<input type="checkbox" name="files[]" value="'.$file.'" checked>'.$file.'<br>';
}
}
echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">';
echo '</form>';
}
//$query = "DELETE FROM screenshots WHERE ID='$imagesetID'";
//$result = mysql_query($query) or die('error making query');
echo '<a href="index.php">Return to the main page</a>.';
