PHP Unlink Not working

Question

I am trying to delete photo in php using unlink. I have used it earlier on other server but this time it is not working. I have used absolute path for a test but still does not works:

I have used it as: unlink('img1.jpg');

and :

unlink('http://www.mysite.com/img1.jpg');

Please anyone having such experience?

Answer 1

url not allow in ulink function

can you please used this

It's better, also safety wise to use an absolute path. But you can get this path dynamically.

E.g. using:

getcwd();

Depending on where your PHP script is, your variable could look like this:

$deleteImage =  getcwd() . 'img1.jpg';

unlink($deleteImage);

check this

bool unlink ( string $filename [, resource $context ] )

and

filename
Path to the file.

So it only takes a string as filename.

Make sure the file is reachable with the path from the location you execute the script. This is not a problem with absolute paths, but you might have one with relative paths.
