Hey Guys How would I go about Deleting a file from a folder using PHP!

<?php
$dir = 'images/';
$filename = 'image1.jpg';
unset($dir.$filename);
?>

 

This would delete a picture located in images/image1.jpg

<?php
$dir = 'images/';
$filename = 'image1.jpg';
unset($dir.$filename);
?>

 

This would delete a picture located in images/image1.jpg

 

Where would I put this?

 

Because I have an upload form, and the user uploads the pics to an folder on the server then they go into a gallery to display the pictures so where would I put that peace of code ?

When you upload a file via PHP, it is saved in a temp folder.

You have the ability to process this file, and to copy it to a desired location if needed (which I guess would be your gallery directory e.g. images/gallery).

 

Where the code would go would depend on when you actually wanted to delete a picture. During the part of your code where you want to delete a picture, you can insert the code and change the filename/directory as needed.

 

If you're using a functions file then you could implement the above code as a simple function which you could call at any point in your script where you need to delete a file.
