Just use the unlink function in php

 

<?php
//File name and location to delete
$filetodelete = "filedirectory/filename.txt";

unlink($filetodelete);

?>

 

Please +1 me if this helped

Just out of interest, what is all this +1 stuff people tend to be requesting a lot lately?

 

They're begging for a credit for giving a useful answer (that little green button with a + at the bottom right); I don't really approve of begging, but it can't be stopped.

Theres actually a difference between begging and just asking nicely saying please give me a +1 if this helped is just asking nicely for them to +1 you if your answer has helped not begging

OK I apologise in your case, but some people do seem to demand a +.

Nah its ok trust me i have seen that alot on here i just ment that some people do just ask nicely for the +1

be it begging or asking politely, i think he/she deserves it, as least i didn't pay him/her for his/her contribution.

You'll need to use the PHP unlink function:

 

delete.php example:

 

 

example:

<?php

 

$id = ...

$query = mysqli_query("SELECT ..... WHERE id=$id");

unlink('./uploads/'.$query['file']);

mysqli_query("DELETE FROM ... WHERE id=$id");

.. redirect

 

off-topic..

The + button isn't hard to find, therefore I find it quite annoying when people append it to their post; I don't know, it just seems petty.
