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

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?

Yeah,
I have never used unlink before and im not familiar with it Sorry.
And if you could help that'd be great

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

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");

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

you are getting that error because you are trying to delete a dir...

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.

Ok Nathan is gone so I need someone else to help .

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...

Meh, wait for Nathans reply .

He might have fixed, dunno =p.

Naaathan?
