<? $filename=stripslashes($_GET['file']); if(file_exists("$filename")) { if(unlink("$filename")) { echo "File was successfully deleted"; } else { echo "File was not deleted."; } } else { echo "File does not exist."; } ?> This checks if the file exists, if the file exists it deletes the file and returns a message confirming the deletion. If the file was not deleted, a message will be returned say the file was not deleted. If the file does not exist, a message will be returned say the file doesn't exist. To use the script just add at the end of the URL ?file={the file you want to delete} Ex: 127.0.0.1/delete.php?file=New Text Document.txt That will delete the file New Text Document.txt ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 162.84.18.178 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.delete.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81096 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81096/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81096/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81096/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81096/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81096/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81096/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81096 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81096 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
