PHP and deleting files

[Jurik]

Hi guys, im running a bit of code that is to be designed to delete entrys from a MYSQL database as well as the file which is stored in a folder known as videos, well I got the code deleting the entry in the database but it is not delete the file in the folder, any ideas on how I go about doing this? Heres the code im using

[quote]<?php

if (isset($_GET['ID'])) {
$vidID = $_GET['ID'];
} else {
$vidID = NULL;
}

$query = "DELETE FROM videos WHERE ID = ('$vidID')";

$result = mysql_query($query);

echo "The video has been deleted.";

?>[/quote]

Any help would be great

you could use [url=http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php]unlink[/url] to delete the files.

Good Luck,
Tom
