PHP Help - Warning: unlink(imgs/) [function.unlink]: [resolved] by prashker on 04-19-2007 at 06:56 PM

According to Nathan he told me to post this below since this is the erroring code thing I guess :P.

code:
$actual variable name here = mysql_fetch_array($other variable name);
unlink("{$actual variable name['row title goes here']}");

Anyways. Basically, in my admin panel I have a delete button which is supposed to delete the image file. But it only deletes it from the database list, but the file is still online and works. You just cannot see it in the admin panel anymore.

This is the error code

code:
Warning: unlink(imgs/) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/sonicsam/public_html/jesuswasajew/adminx/index.php on line 53

Anybody with the powers to help ;o?

You just need to make sure you give unlink() the right path to the file. :p

If you're using a relative path, and currently in the /adminx/ directory, you'll need to use "../imgs/" instead of "imgs/"

unlink("../imgs/loljesus.jpg");

Warning: unlink(../imgs/) [function.unlink]: Is a directory in /home/sonicsam/public_html/jesuswasajew/adminx/index.php on line 53

Still does not work, but I saw a change, see bold :p.

well it should be finding a row in the db where a certian id matches the id its deleting.

But it doesnt seem to be working.

For the "row title" to work, shouldn't it be "fetch_assoc" and not "fetch_array"?

Edit: I really don't remember, as I haven't used fetch_array for years, so don't bite my head off for it.

No, that won't matter... both functions return associative indices. The difference is that fetch_assoc() only returns associative indices, while fetch_array() can return numeric indices as well.

So the query isn't matching any rows? The relevant code hasn't even been posted here, so it would take a psychic to figure out what the problem is... :p
