BlueSkyIS Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 don't use @ in front of function calls. this hides errors that you might see otherwise. try unlink without @ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emehrkay Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 you may need a full server path instead of a relative path '../whatever/you/did' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 okay, no errors? you don't have errors turned off, correct? i assume the file exists. try using absolute path instead of relative path. change ../adam/whatever to the full path: /usrs/web/adam/whatever or if adam is a directory in www, you can use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/adam/whatever/.." previous poster beat me to it.

adam291086 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Dont need a full servere path as i have another page that deletes single photos and it works fine. Its just this page. The file does exist yes. As a created one specially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Dont need a full servere path as i have another page that deletes single photos and it works fine. that doesn't preclude the need to use full path on this page... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
