Trying To Delete A File Using Unlink
i am trying to delete a file using the unlink function but it just is not working. i just get the Could not delete message. Is there anyway to find out exactly what is wrong? I've tried the exact path which is C:/domain/wwwroot/temp/0000000.txt but it just does not delete. Also i dont think it can be related to permissions because the 0000000.txt was created automatically by a script. The code i used is as follows:

<?
$delete = unlink("C:/domain/wwwroot/temp/0000000.txt");

if($delete)
{
echo "Succesfully Deleted";
}
else
{
echo "Could not Delete";
}
?>

Delete Uploaded File When User Exits
I've been working for this simple project. User fills out the application form (uploads a file), redirected to the confirmation page, make a payment, redirected to the payment confirmation page and then it sends an email with this file to the customer or admin. There is no user authentication so it could be anybody uploading files.

The problems is that I want to delete the uploaded file when the user exits the browser or click onto some other page when the user decides to withdraw from making a payment. Because this temporary file becomes permenant. Of course you can delete the files manually using ftp but it could be a hassle for the end user.

I've been thinking about session_set_save_handler, register_shutdown_function or connection aborted functions but none seems to work in this situation.

Can't Delete From Table!
I'm not to familiar to php and sql. I have this assignment to read from database in a table and I HAVE TO be able to push a button causing one costumer to vanish. something to do with id = $id... can anyone help me... and help me fast!

This is my code:

Delete From Many Tables
I am trying to delete rows from a mySQL DB that consists of multiple tables. I am trying to use a function PHP Code:

Delete Records
I`m just trying to figure out the best method to delete my records and wondered if it was possible to do a DELETE statement to remove any records that don`t match. Here is my code so far:

$Query="select blah its huge:-)";
$RESULT=mysql_query($Query);
$my_rows=mysql_num_rows($RESULT);

for ($a=0; $a<$my_rows; $a++){
mysql_data_seek($RESULT, $a);
$Array = mysql_fetch_array($RESULT);
printf("%s<BR>", $Array['Email']);}

My Query returns Matched Records, what I would like to achieve is deletion of the records that didn`t match, would it be possible to do that under the printf statement. So delete all the records in the table that don`t match up to $Array['Email']??

SQL Insert And Delete?
Anyone know if there's a way to call a query but remove whatever you grabbed from the database, or would I have to do a query to retrieve what i needed, then follow it up with a delete on the same query results?

Delete An Object ?
I use OOP with PHP4 and i don't understand something.

I have 2 classes VISIT & PLANNING like that:

class clVISIT {
var $when;
var $where;

//constructor
function clVISIT($_when,$_where) {
$this->when = $_when;
$this->where = $_where;
}
}

class clPLANNING {
var $who;
var $visit = array();

//constructor
function ClPLANNING($_who) {
$this->who = $_who;
for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++) { $visit = new clVISIT("foo".$i , "foobar".$i ) ; }
}

}

Ok, in the last constructor, we can see that i create new clVISIT
object. My question is: how can i delete some of them in the same
constructor ? is there a word like "new" but to delete ?

Delete Script
PHP and MySQL and I'm having some problems getting
this script to work. I can't get this to work and I don't understand
why. I don't get an error or anything, it almost seems like the page
refreshes. I went to the phpmyadmin and the row is still in the
database. The $_GET parts work perfectly in another script and the SQL
statement works when I insert hard values in it. Any thoughts would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
