andre1990 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hey, I've got an upload site where you can upload files and you get a direct link. I was wondering if it would be possible to offer a delete link too, where if you went to the link it would delete your file? Thanks.

JKG Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 yeah, just either create a file called delete.php then add the query string with the id or filename or something, then use $_GET to get the unique. or, in the same file, use an isset() to determine if delete is set in the url, eg: files.php?delete=1&id=19 then, in that if statement, put your deletion code. to delete you can use: unlink('/root/file/name/and/path/here.jpg'); <?php if(isset($_GET['delete'])) { unlink('/home/user/www/files/' . $_GET['file_name']); } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/246839-file-deletion-through-link/#findComment-1267655 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKG Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 dont bump the thread. unlink('/home/user/www/files/' . $_GET['file_name']); would go in delete.php. you could then use header() to redirect the user.

andre1990 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Apologies. But to print the link to them in the first place, Delete Link:<br /><br /> <input type="text" size="38" onClick=select() value="<?php echo $server."/delete"."/".$destination."/".$name; ?>" READONLY><p /> Would that suffice?

JKG Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 of course it would, you have not printed anything. what it should have done was delete the file, if the file hasnt been deleted then you need to set up your server to show errors.

JKG Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 your problem is that you have not declared what $server and $destination are. get rid of them. also, you cannot use http://www.andre.com you have to use the server root. suspecting you are on a standard linux it would be /home/yourusername/www/Uploads/ if you dont know, then do a <?php echo phpinfo(); ?> or declare it relatively from the directory the script is in. and you are using @chmod( $entry, 0777 ); @unlink( $entry ); incorrectly.
