how to delete file after install?

[derrick1123]

I have a file that I would like to be deleted after it is installed...is this possible?

<?php
include("db_settings.php");
$q = "CREATE TABLE remember (
                  id varchar(255) NOT NULL,
                  name int(255) NOT NULL,
	  msg int(255) NOT NULL,
          time int(255) NOT NULL,
                  PRIMARY KEY  (id)
                ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMMENT='Message Reminder';
	";
$go = mysql_query($q);

if(!$go){
echo "SHIT!!! Redownload something went wrong.";
} else {
echo "YAY!!! The '<tt>rememberall<tt>' table has been installed in your database.";
}
?>

BTW, if any of this is not going to work, please let me know. Thank you!

Does this only work with functions?

..Stupid question I know...

 

 

I just wanted to add

unlink($filename);

at the end of the file if this is possible.

The unlink function will delete files yes. However if you install your script on a *nix based server your script will need to have the neccesary (chmod) permissions in order to delete files.

I forgot to chmod the folder. This is my first ever script I made, and am already half way done. I can't wait till this is finished. And thanks to phpfreak's for all your help. ^.^
