unlink in different directory

[e1seix]

Not used unlink function before so a bit unsure. I do need it to remove a file in a different directory than the one the unlink function is in - it's actually in a parent sub directory.

 

Is there another way of doing this if unlink is unsuitable or can someone help me correct my code?

 

        elseif ( $action == "dlt" && $step == "2" ) {

          mysql_query('DELETE FROM items WHERE auto_increment = "'.$auto_increment.'"') or die( mysql_error() );

            $small = "../admin/imgs/small/90_'.$auto_increment.'.jpg";
              unlink( $small );
            $large = "../admin/imgs/small/250_'.$auto_increment.'.jpg";
              unlink( $large ); }

 

Cheers

Providing an absolute path in these circumstances is a far better option then a relative path. In other words.

 

$small = "/home/user/public_html/admin/imgs/small/90_'.$auto_increment.'.jpg";

Or whatever the path would be for you.
