need help in delete function.

[xhelle]

Hi Peeps,

 

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this  . What should i use if i like to delete a file that already upload in the server. The user has the ability to delete the files if he accidentally input a wrong value to that field. It is possible in javascript or should i use a ajax. I'm just new in both script. Hope somebody here help me and reply to this topic. Thanks in advance ^^

php has a fairly straingh forward function to delete the file uploaded , or in use in it's server space . You can use function unlink()

.

 

Also remeber that your application folder has appropriate writes to do the same . Normally place such files which has to be deleted over a period of time , or for temporary use into /tmp folder .
