Re: File System

that will work too... but you wont get a response back if the unlink fails (other thn a nasty php error). you will with charles method. plus sometimes things that arent a file will pass true on the file_exists() function. i mean you can do all the checks like if (file_exists($dest_file) && is_file($dest_file) && etc etc etc) { unlink($dest_file) } -- or -- do charles method and be sure if you want to delete it is gets deleted. if (unlink($dest_file)) { // Actions when deleted }else { // Actions if file does not exist, or fails, or is errored, or etc etc etc...... } Joel Colombo "Philip J.
