How to use unlink?

[Rodrigo_Z]

Hello, i created a gallery and i have the option to delete the image, but i can´t do it, I´m using unlink and every time it return an error saing the folder can´t be deleted, but it´´s an image.

Somebody could give an exempla on how to use unlink, i read at php.net but it´s a little confusing.

Thanks!

Basically what you want to do is get the filename (with the relative path i.e. ../myfile.jpg) that you want to delete, then check to see if it actually is a file with is_file(), then unlink it if is_file() returned true.

$filename = "../myFile.jpg";
if(is_file($filename)){
     unlink($filename);
}

This probably isn't the best example, but if you could post some code I could probably help you out more.
