PHP - Delete File By Button (unlink)

After a user on my site deletes their account I want their profile picture to be deleted from my images folder.   I was testing the unlink function on my index.php file and it is failing.

Here is the error: Warning: unlink(/assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png): No such file or directory in /home/www-data/big.com/index.php on line 86

My code was just: unlink('/assets/img/avatars/users/jasongordon.png');

I'm not sure why this fails because my file does exist.

any help with this please? it works fine with deleting database results but the unlink wont unlink file from dir?

Code: [Select]
else if($action=="del")
{
    $id = $_GET["id"];
    $cls = $_GET["cls"];
    $dir = "gallery/$cls";
  echo "<p align=\"center\">";
 
  $owner = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT uid FROM gallery WHERE id='".$id."'"));
  if(mod(getuid_id($id))||getuid_id($id)==$owner[0])
  {
    $res = mysql_query("DELETE FROM gallery WHERE id='".$id."'");
$res2 = mysql_query("DELETE FROM comments WHERE pid='".$id."'");
$res3 = mysql_query("DELETE FROM rate WHERE pid='".$id."'");

    if($res||res2||res3 || unlink($dir))
        {
            echo "Photo Deleted From Gallery<br/>";
        }else{
          echo "Database Error!<br/>";
        }
  }else{
    echo "You can't delete this Photo";
  }

Dear forum

I'm new to this forum and since I'm doing more and more php development, you'll probably going to see me more. 

For now I got this problem and I hope you guys can help me out =(.

I'm building an administartion panel for a website. On this panel the administrator can upload pictures for a gallery. This part works, so normally permissions shouldn't be a problem.
The file names are stored in my mysql database for example "pic2.jpg", "pic2.jpg", ...

Now I got this form to delete pictures from a specific gallery. It deletes from the database but it just wont delete the files. I'm using a local xampp server.

I got the following code:

Code:
$merk = $_POST["MerkLeegMaken"];
      $sql = "SELECT * FROM catalogus WHERE merkId=" . $merk;
      $resultSet = mysql_query($sql);
      while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($query) )
         {
            $url = "../uploads/" . $row["foto"]; // this url is f.e. "../uploads/picture1.jpg", and I'm currently in "/administrationPanel/form.php
            fclose($url);
            unlink($url);
         }
           
     
      $sql = "DELETE FROM catalogus WHERE merkId=" . $merk;
      mysql_query($sql);
      $message = "<p class='success'>Het huidig merk is succesvol leeggemaakt.</p>";


(I got in my root dir the directory /uploads and the directory /administartionPanel, so ../uploads should be correct right?"


I also tried to delete with "c:/xampp/xampp/htdocs/uploads/pic1.jpg" but that didn't work either. But shouldn't "../uploads/pic1.jpg" work anyway, since I use that same url as the source of an Image below the form.

All my different url attempts didn't work. I kept finding the files in my windows explorer =(

Hope someone can help.

Hey guys just wandered if you can help me on my website in the mailbox section next to the message there is a delete button to obviously delete that current message.   However as I am sure you can appreciate it get tedious when you have 20 messages to do them all at once.   So I am after putting a button at the top of this column in the table that will delete all the messages in there with one click.   Below is the coding of where all this takes place:

function mailbox($mes,$page)

global $config;


if(!$page)

Im displaying the results of a database by using a while loop... so Im trying to figure out how to delete some entries from the datbase. What I wanted to do is add a button in each result that will have the value "delete"... but I cant figure out how to do this. Im kinda new to mysql. I just want it so when I click the button the result will get deleted from the database.

I did some research on this but I cant really grasp the examples.

Can anybody help me out with this one?

Thanks!

Hi I've been scouring the net and I cant find anything that works. Can someone tell me how to put a delete button next to each record? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Code: [Select]
$term = strtolower ($_POST['term']);   
$sql = mysql_query("select * from $table where first like '%$term%' or last like '%$term%'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){     
echo 'ID: '.$row['id'];     
echo '<br/> first: '.$row['first'];     
echo '<br/> last: '.$row['last'];
echo '<br/> phone: '.$row['phone'];   
echo '<br/> mobile: '.$row['mobile'];   
echo '<br/> fax: '.$row['fax'];     
echo '<br/> email: '.$row['email'];     
echo '<br/> web: '.$row['web'];

Hi

Any idea ??

Hi, So I have a private page where I have a delete button.   The delete button just links to a page something like this: mysite.com/?postid=123&confirm=1 When confirm is set, the page is deleted. The problem is, a malicious person could reverse engineer the URL and trick (logged in) users of the site into clicking the link.   How can I verify that the last page visited was from my site, in the private section?   Possible solutions:   I was thinking HTTP_REFERER (mispelled due to html standard stupidity), but heard it's not robust.   Right now I'm just setting a cookie for 1 minute, to limit the likelihood of hacking, but wonder if there is a better way.    

I am new to php and I thought it best to start by using a CMS and creating small functions to extend it's functionality. I will start by explaining the situation around what I want to do. I am trying to create a module for the drupal CMS. The module I am trying to create I am creating for my girlfriends son (for when it is complete he will be the one maintaining it through the web interface). He wants a game server (WOW) and a web site that once they create an account on the web site it will create an account on the game server as well. If I understand the way this works correctly for this game server to work you need a logon database and then a character and world database for each realm you have. With that basically what happens is you go to the drupal web site and click create account, input a username, email address and password and agree to terms of service. Then drupal does some checks and writes the information to the drupal database and with the module I creating it will write to the logon database as well. I am working on the admin forms so you can edit how many realms the server has the sql statement to login to the game and add and delete realms. I have been looking at an example of a form for drupal here http://drupal.org/node/717746 but have converted it to my purpose and it brings up some questions here is what I have so far:

If max_realms is set to a large number the way I see it you would have to hard code everything into the php file. Instead of that could you not remove from the if(isset) and have it that when they click on the add realm button check to make sure the textfield contains a number if it doesn't return an error if it does contain a number make sure it is not greater then max_realms and then use a start count and adding that number to all the arrays for that realm and validate all the information is what you expect. I think this would work for adding realms, I think where the problem would come in is in deleting realms (or it could be me over thinking it). For example if you have max_realms set to 4 you could have 5 the one default one that can't be deleted plus 4 others and the ones that can be deleted would be called realm1 - realm4 if you delete the first 2 you would minus count by 2 so if you clicked add realm again it would try and create realm3 which already exists. Is there another way on doing this that you could create the realms and delete them and it not try to add realms with the same array name?

Hello,

I am new to php, and what I need to know and learn is a part of an assignment I normally wouldn't ask for help on the net for an assignment but my teacher is not very helpful and other students are struggling too! I have searched the net inside and out and have tried many things. My problem is that I am trying to remove a line from an array by clicking a delete button.

The outpur I need is:

a line of text that comes from my text file after it is exploded into an array | With a delete button here
next line of text that comes from my text file after it is exploded into an array | With a delete button here
etc

I have managed to write this much myself -
Code: [Select]
<?php
$file = fopen('fav/fav.txt', 'r');
$file = file_get_contents('fav/fav.txt');
$file_array = explode("\n",$file);
array_pop($file_array);
foreach($file_array as $line) {
echo "<form method='post' action=''>".$line.
"<input type='submit' name='post' value='delete'><br>";
$fh = fopen("fav/fav.txt",'w');
foreach ($file_array as $line) {
fwrite($fh,$line."\n");
}
fclose($fh);
} 
?>
The array_pop deletes from the bottom instead of the line the button is next too, I realise I will need to use and if statement but this is the closest I have gotten.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi, I'm doing a simple e-mail using localhost, while doing the rest, I realized I need a delete button for it. Is there a simple way to delete the message when the user opens the mail content?

This is the code I did for read_pm.php:

Hi, I'm new to the forum so this could go in the MySQL section but I'm not sure.

I am trying to make a page that will list all records from a column in HTML table and have a delete button to remove a specific record. I have got to the part where I have listed the records in a table.
Note: Only records from a specific column ('links') are printed.

Here is the code:
Code: [Select]
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","***","***");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("***", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM main");

echo "<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th>Current links</th>
</tr>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['links'] . "</td>";
  echo "</tr>";
  }
echo "</table>";

mysql_close($con);
How would I go about adding a delete button next to each record to delete that specific record?

Thanks for any help.

I have a dynamic script and need to create a click event function with JavaScript to delete the row which has a checkbox checked when the delete button is pressed. 
 
 
This is being implemented with PHP and as now serves as light code for this matter at hand. I was only able to delete all rows. I have my efforts with the js functions too.     <script type="text/javascript">
   var counter = 1;
   var limit = 6;
   function addTextArea() {
    if (counter == limit-1) {
    alert("Maximum limit " + counter + " sorry");
    return false;
    }
    else {
    <!-- CAUTION THIS IS BACKWARDS. -->
   
    var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
    newdiv.innerHTML = "" + (counter + 1) + " <br><textarea name='fav_det[]' id=counter rows='3' cols='20'>";
    document.getElementById('div6').appendChild(newdiv);
   
    var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
    newdiv.innerHTML = "" + (counter + 1) + " <br><textarea name='fav_col' id=counter rows='3' cols='20'>";
    document.getElementById('div5').appendChild(newdiv);
   
    var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
    newdiv.innerHTML = "" + (counter + 1) + " <br><textarea name='fav_mod[]' id=counter rows='3' cols='20'>";
    document.getElementById('div4').appendChild(newdiv);
   
    var newdiv = document.createElement('div');

    newdiv.innerHTML = "" + (counter + 1) + " <br><input type='checkbox' name='chk[]' id=counter>";

Hello,   First of all I'd like to say thank you for all the great information on the forums, I've been reading a lot on here lately.   I've started to make a website where users can log in and submit items to a database, which is then displayed on another page. If Tom and Bill both post 10 items, all 20 items will be displayed on the "listings" page, however on the main log in screen Tom will only see his own 10 items and Bill will see his own 10 items.   This is all working perfectly, however, I now need to add a delete button so that they can delete specific items. I have loosely followed this tutorial here to get the table to display as I want it (amongst a few other things, such as the user logins) http://www.wickham43...mphptomysql.php I've added the delete button in the PHP loop for each row, I just can't figure out how to delete the specific row when clicked.   Any help would be really appreciated

Hey guys!
Everytime i upload something to the server theres a files created called Resource id #10 (number increments after eachj upload)
From what i can ubserve, those are the TMP file ... but for somereason it's staying there and piles up and takes out a lot of space.

Is there a way to delete them when the upload is finished?
