Unlink File in IMG directory

[unemployment]

After a user on my site deletes their account I want their profile picture to be deleted from my images folder.  I was testing the unlink function on my index.php file and it is failing.

 

Here is the error: Warning: unlink(/assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png): No such file or directory in /home/www-data/big.com/index.php on line 86

 

My code was just: unlink('/assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png');

 

I'm not sure why this fails because my file does exist.

What is the full path to the file?

 

/assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png

or

/home/www-data/big.com/assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png

What is the full path to the file?

 

/assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png

or

/home/www-data/big.com/assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png

 

On my server it's /home/www-data/big.com/assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png

you need to use

unlink('/home/www-data/big.com/assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png');

then.

 

php's root directory is deeper than the html root directory.

Or use:

 

unlink('./assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png');

or

unlink('assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png');

I decide to go with unlink("{$GLOBALS['path']}/img/avatars/companies/${cid}.png");
