Passing variable not working

hobiecat

The following code works when test.jpg is hardcoded: (commented out)

<?php
//$myfile = "test.jpg";
echo $myfile;
$myfile = $_GET['id'];
unlink($myFile);
?>

When I pass test.jpg as a variable:

http://www.datatracksoftware.com/eden/datashow/f1/testdelete.php?id=test.jpg

I get the following error:

test.jpg (it echos OK)

Warning: unlink() [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /hermes/bosweb/web223/b2235/sl.datatrac/public_html/eden/datashow/f1/testdelete.php on line 5

Thanks in advance for your help,

So do you have a file called /hermes/bosweb/web223/b2235/sl.datatrac/public_html/eden/datashow/f1/test.jpg to delete? Because it wasn't found.

Evidently the $myfile is case sensitive for passing the variable through id? but not when hardcoding (Note the upper/lower case difference)

Weedpacket

PHP variable names are case-sensitive, yes. I don't know what you mean about "passing the variable through id" because you're not passing any variable names anywhere.

In the code you originally posted here, neither would work, because both variable assignment statements use a lower-case "f" while the unlink() call uses an upper-case "F":

<?php
//$my[B][COLOR="Green"]f[/COLOR][/B]ile = "test.jpg";
echo $my[B][COLOR="Green"]f[/COLOR][/B]ile;
$my[B][COLOR="Green"]f[/COLOR][/B]ile = $_GET['id'];
unlink($my[B][COLOR="Red"]F[/COLOR][/B]ile);
?>
