JsusSalv Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hello: I have gone through the help files and am still in need of help. All I need is to create a simple XHTML form that scans a directory, shows the files (all will be image files), and adds a checkbox that allows users to delete a particular file. Ideally, an "Are you sure you want to delete this file" message should appear/popup followed by a file deletion confirmation. Below is my code for the form: <?php $webAddr = "http://www.xxxx.xxx/xx"; $dir = "/path/to/directory/where/the/Images/are/located/"; if(($dirfiles = scandir($dir))!==false) { foreach($dirfiles as $imgfile) { if($imgfile != '.' && $imgfile != '..') echo "<img src=\"$webAddr/Images/$imgfile\" title=\"$imgfile\" alt=\"$imgfile\" />"; if (isset($_POST['delete']) && $_POST['delete']=='yes') { print 'Image is being deleted...'; exit; } } } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="delete_image_file.php"> <input type="hidden" name="delete" value="yes" /> <p> <input name="checkbox[<?php echo $imgfile; ?>]" type="checkbox" id="checkbox[<?php echo $imgfile; ?>]" value="checkbox" /> <?php echo $imgfile; ?></p> <input type="submit" value="Delete Image"> </form> </body> </html> For the file, delete_image_file.php, that should process the form: <?php $dir = "/path/to/directory/where/the/Images/are/located/"; if(($dirfiles = scandir($dir))!==false) { foreach($dirfiles as $imgfile) { if($imgfile != '.' && $imgfile != '..') if (unlink('/path/to/directory/where/the/Images/are/located/' . $imgfile)) { print "The file $imgfile has been deleted!\n"; } else { print "Deletion of $imgfile failed!\n"; } } } ?> I am having much difficulty figuring out what goes where. Anyhow, if you have some info you'd like to share then please add example scripts. I don't need posts that tell me what I should or shouldn't do. That isn't productive for me. Thank you everyone!

tibberous Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 To do the alert box: <input type="submit" value="Delete Image" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this file?')"> I'm to tired for anything but that.

JsusSalv Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Refresh yourself my friend Well, what I need is to understand where the processing part of the code gets put into so that files do get deleted. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
