[Resolved] Problems with Unlink()

[Langridge]

Hi I am having some problems getting a file deleted from my server,

The way it works is: The file name/ID is stored in the mysql database, and the ACTUAL file is stored on the server - pretty standard stuff.

Im using the unlink() funtion to remove the file from the server, but I get a Warning: unlink(photo_brent.jpg) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/pedpower/public_html/deletepic.php on line 40

error msg, here is my code.

$query = "select * from image_gallery where id ='$deleteinput'";
$result = mysql_query($query, $connection);

while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$id = $myrow["id"];
$tpicimage = $myrow["image"];
}

$tfiledir = "images/upload/$tpicimage";

//echo "$tfiledir";

unlink(trim($tpicimage));

//deletes the information from the database
$query = "delete from image_gallery where id = '$deleteinput'";

//assigns the results of the query to a variable
$result = mysql_query($query, $connection);

The file DOES exist (in both DB and Server).

Line 40 = unlink(trim($tpicimage));

Any ideas?

Thanks

You are trying to unlink the image name and not the image path

$tpicimage = $myrow["image"];
}

$tfiledir = "images/upload/$tpicimage";

//echo "$tfiledir";

unlink(trim($tpicimage));

it should say

unlink($tfiledir);

there is no need for the trim either
