Hi,
I use the following to delete a file on a webserver

if( unlink( "./$filename" ) )
{
echo $filename." deleted ";
$action='';
echo
"";
}

But I get the following error
Warning: unlink(./6 November 2009.pdf): No such file or directory in
/srv/www/htdocs/bee_partners/admin/tenders.php on line 82 6 November
2009.pdf not deleted

Any help?

Re: unlink problems

Looks like the PDF is not in the admin directory. Try to use the full
path to the PDF file and also check the permissions on the file.

../ means the current directory.

take that out - you still reference the current directory.

$ touch abc
$ ls ./abc
../abc
$ ls abc
abc

they are the same file.

Using a full path is the best because you always know what it will be
referencing.

Not exactly sure what help you would need? The file doesn't exist, so
you can't delete it.

But a quick hack later ...

http://www.beepartners.com/tenders/

is where the files are and

http://www.beepartners.com/admin/tenders.php

is where the script it.

So, "./$filename" should probably be "../tenders/$filename" maybe.

Regards,

Richard.
