Unlink() Help....

[mdojet]

I am trying to delete a file out of a folder. I have searched for the UNLINK function in online manuals but most are very vague. Can anyone help with the correct order..ie....do I need to fopen and fclose prior? Can anyone write up an example. Thanks!

Simple, specify the path to the file (must be root path).

File:
$delfile = @unlink("/home/domain/www/directory/filename.jpg");
if (!$delfile) { echo "Failed to delete file"; }

Directory:
$deldir = @unlink("/home/domain/www/directory");
if (!$deldir) { echo "Failed to delete Directory"; }

Keep in mind, you can not delete (unlink) a directory if there are files located in this directory.
