How to delete file by disregarding the file extention?

[bugzy]

How can I delete a file w/out putting the file extension?

 

for example I have image

 

 

<?php

$filename = "duck.jpeg";

unlink($filename);

?>

 

 

is it possible to just use this

 

 

 

<?php

$filename = "duck";

unlink($filename);

?>

 

 

instead?

Use glob to grab all the files matching the duck.* pattern and delete each one.

Am I doing this right?

 

It aint working ..

 

<?php

$item_code = mysql_result($result,0,'item_code');

$file = "../images_item/".glob($item_code)."/*.[jpeg][png][gif]";

unlink($file);


?>

 

 

I'm trying to delete ../images_item/item_code.jpeg || .png || .gif

Check out glob in the manual. What kind of data does it return?

Since I'm just looking for 3 extension. I just decided to just use an if

 

 

<?php

$png = "../images_item/".$item_id.".png";
$jpeg = "../images_item/".$item_id.".jpeg";
$jpg = "../images_item/".$item_id.".jpg";
$gif = "../images_item/".$item_id.".gif";



                if(file_exists($png))
	{
		unlink($png);
	}
	else if(file_exists($jpeg))
	{
		unlink($jpeg);
	}
	else if(file_exists($jpg))
	{
		unlink($jpg);
	}
	else if(file_exists($gif))
	{
		unlink($gif);
	}


?>

 

 

Btw I'm filtering those images with only .gif .jpeg and .gif only before it will be stored on the directory.

 

I wonder if I'm going to have a problem with this?
