[SOLVED] unlink file error

[brem13]

ive got a script that deletes pictures if the checkbox is checked and it works fine, it deletes the picture, the thumbnail and the row from the database, but it still loops through and looks for the picture and since its not there it gives me an unlink..cannot find the file error

 

foreach($aPics as $PicKey => $picname) {

    if(array_key_exists($PicKey, $aComments)) {

       

        if (isset($delete[$PicKey])){

   

        mysql_query("DELETE FROM $userlow WHERE picture='$picname'") or die(mysql_error());

      unlink($picname);

      unlink("thumbs/".$picname);

       

    }//end iff

      }//end foreach

 

 

error: unlink(1234907747.jpg) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in editgall.php on line 57

Use file_exists before unlink If it exists try to unlink, if not then it got deleted at some point in time.

You could check if the file exists before you call unlink.

 

if(file_exists($picname)){
  unlink($picname);
}else{echo 'file not found';}
if(file_exists("thumbs/".$picname)){
  unlink("thumbs/".$picname);
}else{echo 'thumb not found';}

 

If you're getting the echo'd error message, make sure that the path is correct, as well.
