deleting file

[zero_ZX]

Hi, When i launch my code i get the following php error:

Warning: unlink(../files/"yCUuH0223e3d6d046acb58678fbb54042e0fe.pdf") [function.unlink]: Invalid argument in C:\xampp\htdocs\intra\VVS\admin\fakture-edit.php on line 74

 

But in the dir: C:\xampp\htdocs\intra\VVS\files\

 

The file exists..

 

here's my php code:

 

$id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']);
$fil = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['fil']);


$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM fakture WHERE id=('$id')  LIMIT 1");
$row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2);

if ($_GET["op"] == "process")
{

if (!unlink('../files/"'.$fil.'"'))

Your path is coming out looking like ../files/"somefile" with the quotes in the name. Try this:

 

if (!unlink('../files/'.$fil))

Oh yea, your totally right, if I could just learn to read the errors more carefully Thanks a lot.

 

I'm getting a permission denied message on a windows system.. the process running php has full access to the file, so I don't really understand that, can any one help me on that matter?

Make sure the file trying to delete the other file has permission.

Appears windows just sucks lol

 

I first tried to change ownership, which didn't work well, but if you move out of the working directory, and change it to the one you want to operate in, then it actually works..

 

So my fix is:

if ($_GET["op"] == "process")
{

    $olddir = getcwd(); // Save the current directory
    chdir('../files');


if (!unlink($fil))

 

Thanks for everything!
