How to Delete a File from a folder using PHP

Hello all,

I am currently developing a IMAGE GALLERY site. Every thing is working well and GOOD except a small Problem. For example, if i am deleting a image in the site its deleting successfully from the database and no longer displaying in the gallery. But i need to remove the specific image from the folder. Is there any chance to do that. if YES please guide me to do that..

Thanks in Advance

To delete a file you need to use the unlink() function.

Do you want to post an answer to your own question or to another users question.

@Fero - unlink does exactly what you are looking for, why would you want another option?

If you need to post an answer to another user's question then open the corresponding question page and at the bottom there is a textarea [actually a markdown editor] for entering your answer.

If you need to answer your own question then there is a button at the bottom named Answer Your Question.
