deleting a image file yii

Question

can any one pls tell me how to delete an image file and directory in yii

I have tried unlink but its not working.(the path is correct but its not deleting) but getting the error No such file or directory

unlink(Yii::app()->request->baseUrl.'/uploads/'.$model->file_id.'/'.$fileModel->file_name.$fileModel->extension);

• and I also need to delete a directory in yii framework.the path is correct but its not deleting

  rmdir(Yii::app()->request->baseUrl.'/uploads/'.$model->file_id);

This is not working either, but getting the error No such file or directory.

Answer 1

Try:

unlink(getcwd().'/uploads/'.$model->file_id.'/'.$fileModel->file_name.$fileModel->extension);

getcwd() gets the current working directory. The docs for it are here

Answer 2

Instead of

Yii::app()->request->baseUrl

Try

Yii::app()->basePath

Answer 3

I have never used Yii's earlier versions.

For Yii2: unlink(Yii::$app->basePath.'/directory_path/'.$filename);
