Unlink (delete Files) With Asterix's?
is it possible to delete a file and use an asterix? (or any wildcard)
ie, I tried @unlink(Username_CV_."*"); and @unlink(Username_CV_.*); to no success.
the ending is a date, so it could be Username_CV_june27_2007 or aug31 or whatever, and obviously I don't want to delete ALL the files from other users as well...
I guess I could store the file name in a table, but it would be nicer to not need that to simply delete simple a file..

Deleting Files Using Unlink [function.unlink]: Permission Denied
I have a record in the db and a picture file name recorded with that record. I am writing a deletion routine which checks that file name and is supposed to delete it using unlink. Although it reports the correct directory and file name, I received the following: Warning: unlink(/home/pab/html/pics/test.jpg) [function.unlink]: Permission denied I checked my permissions and the file is set at my user name and 666. Does anyone know why this won't work or maybe another way to delete the file?

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"; } ?>

Unlink Files That Are Checked
Has anyone written a script where you can view files in a directory and then delete them? Next to each file name is a check box. If you check the check box and click a delete button, the file will be deleted from the directory it resides in. This script allows me to upload files to the upload folder on my webserver. I can also view all files in the upload folder. The only thing I can't do is put a check next to the file I want to delete and click the delete button to delete the file from the upload directory.

Deleting Files Using Unlink()
I have been searching the forums for examples of using unlink() and I thought I understood it, but my code is not working. I have a form where the user can upload an image. The image is stored in a directory on my server and the path to that file is stored in a database. I have have another form that allows an admin to delete that row from the database, but I also want the actual image file deleted too. I don't recieve any errors, but the rows get deleted from the database and images do not get deleted. I am using PHP5, MySQL and PEAR. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is not working? Here is my code: PHP Code: if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') { if ($_POST['yes_no'] == 'yes') { $isbn = $_POST['isbn']; $sql_select = "SELECT image FROM lounge WHERE isbn = $isbn"; $rows = $db->getRow($sql_select); $uploaddir = "uploads/"; $filename = $rows[image]; $image = $uploaddir.$filename; unlink($image); $sql_delete = "DELETE FROM lounge WHERE isbn = $isbn"; $db->query($sql_delete); print "<script>window.location='water_music_retrieve_testing.php'</script>"; } else { print "Record not deleted"; print "<script>window.location='water_music_retrieve_testing.php'</script>"; } }

Delete Files - Check All Files In /home/radar/kabc*.png
Trying to figure out a code to do something that is probably simple, but I'm not able to find anything to combine to make it happen. Here is what i'd like to accomplish. Check all files in /home/radar/kabc*.png --- if those files are older than x hours, delete them. After deleting those files, I'd like to copy new "placefiles" in the place of the image, basically, copy test.png to kabc101.png (example filename). I'd like to not loop this process if the file size is equal to 123456 bytes exactly, and have the owner of those files a certain user. What this is, is a radar software that I use to upload to my personal website, so if there's no weather going on, I don't use the radar software, and it's not updating the radar on the web, so, after so many hours of the software not uploading anything new, i'd like to find a way to have these placefiles put in place. Once I start my software again, it'll overwrite those files automatically. Does this seem like it's possible? Is it an easy task?

Delete Files
I have a part of my site that will allow a user to create a group. When they create the group then can assign a picture to that group. I store the filename in the db and then I create create a folder for them on my web server and upload the image to there. My question is if they choose to update their picture I want to delete the old file and then upload the new file that they choose to be their picture. How would I do this. I know that I would have to run a query to get the old file name before updating it in the db but after I get that I'm not sure how to delete it from the web server. I also know how to upload the file so that isn't a problem either, it's just the step before that of deleting it from the server.

Delete Files That Contain Quotes
I created a file upload form. After uploading file that had a quotation mark in it, PHP escaped the quotation mark and now the file name has an illegal character in it. It seems that move_uploaded_file() allowed the file to have the forward slash. I've correct the escaping of quotes issue by using stripslashes on the 2nd parameter. Now however any files already uploaded that have the illegal character can't seem to be deleted. I can't download them either through ftp. I am using an apache server hosted through site flip. Is there anything I can do to delete these files or am I stuck with them on the web host? Things I've tried. Renaming with PHP, renaming with FTP. None of those seem to work. Is there something I can install that will force a file rename even if it has invalid characters in it?

How To Delete Files Uploaded And Now Owned By PHP
Within homes/ PHP creates a directory, it's an integer such as homes/999 or homes/345. Within that new directory, PHP uploads some graphics, .gif or .jpg. The problem is, that directory and all those graphics are now "owned" by PHP, usually running as nobody or www. I can't delete them or copy them. I've tried running a chown() within PHP to make myself the owner, but I get "operation not allowed". The only solution I've found so far is to set umask(0), so that the directory and graphics have 777 permissions. I don't think that's very safe, though, is it? Does anyone have any suggestions. I want to be able to delete or copy the files like they are mine, but only me or my group. I'm not running the server myself, but those who are seem willing to work with me.

Unlink always returns false. Im using IIS 6 w/ PHP5 on Windows Server 2003. So I tried the system( del " " ) command and that didnt work either. Im kinda new to IIS so im not sure how to check/set the permissions for the PHP script to delete a file, but do I even need to since I was able to create directories/files already?
