[RESOLVED] Simple Delete of file Question

[blanius]

This is probably simple but I kinda stumped..

I have a dynamic list of images

$files=directory("../photos/","jpg,jpeg,Jpg,JPg,JPG");	  

		  foreach($files as $pic){?>
  <img  width="150" src="<?php echo $path.$pic;?>" align="bottom" />

 <input type="button" name="Submit<? echo $ct?>" value="Delete" />
 <?php echo $path.$pic;?><br/>
            <?php 			}?>

There's got to be a simple way to have this button delete just that file

I would use

@unlink($path.$pic);

Also i would use submit not a button

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" >

So that you can pass the values onto the next script and then delete them.

I knew unlink was the way to go, it's more about how to build the button code. I tried making it a form but couldn't figure out a good way to make it work.

I'm now thinking maybe to make a Javascript call on the buttons passing the filename and then from the Javascript calling a PHP script to do the unlink.

I could use a push in the right direction here.

You could name the submit button something like "delete[picNameHere]" and then use [man]array_keys/man on the $_POST['delete'] element. The first (and only) key would contain the name of the image.

I like that Idea, I'll give it a shot

That worked a treat thanks
