Wildbug Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 unlink isn't supported in the http wrapper. See this link. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53409-unlink-error/#findComment-263889 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildbug Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I didn't say that. You just can't use an http wrapper to do so. You can use an ftp:// wrapper or, if the file is on localhost, the filesystem.

Woodburn2006 Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 ok cool, im quite new to all this so not too sure how i would go about it. the way i am doing it is that i am building a control panel for the user of the site and they can change like a profile image and when they replace their profile image it deletes the old one from the server. i can get it to do everything except delete the old one Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53409-unlink-error/#findComment-263914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbug Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Well, don't use unlink("http://...."), just use the location of the file as you would locally. unlink("/var/www/users/fred/image.jpg") (or whatever) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53409-unlink-error/#findComment-263916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
