Re: Re: deleting a file in another directory

Sure... The script (del_appro.php) is called from a link as: del_appro.php?imageid=12 which is in the sites root directory. The mysql data is getting deleted if I remove the unlink part that is causing me problems. The images that it need to delete are in /appro_image and are named $filename. <? session_start(); include_once("admin/config/header.inc.php"); include_once("admin/inc.php"); include_once("member_header.php"); check_valid_user(); if ($valid_user !== $pageowner) {echo "<BR><BR><BR><CENTER><H2>You are not authorised to use this page!<BR></h2></center>"; exit;}else{ { $sql ="select * from approval where imageid = $imageid"; $result = @mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); $num = @mysql_num_rows($result); //while ($row =mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $imageid=$row['imageid']; $imagename = $row['imagename']; $filename = $row['new_name']; $verdict = $row['verdict']; $approved_by = $row['approved_by']; $comment = $row['comment']; $datestamp = $row['datestamp']; $imageowner=$row['userid']; //DELETE THE IMAGE FILE FROM THE APPRO_IMAGE FOLDER unlink("./appro_image/$filename"); mysql_select_db( "release" ) or die( "cannot select database 'release'" ); $sql = "delete from approval where imageid = '$imageid' "; $result = @mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); echo "<center><h2>Image and data has been deleted</H2></center><br><br> <a href='appro_manage.php'>Return to Approval Management Form</a> "; } } ?> Dont be too hard on the standard of my scripting.... I am learning!
