unlink called autmatically whenever the page refreshed

i'v an issue with unlink function in php , i'v a delete script where i click on a delete button it deletes an image ID from the table , but when i add the unlink function to the same button it automatically deletes the image but the ID remains which displays an empty image. 

  <a href="inc/delete.php?id=<?php echo $i_id?>"><img src="inc/delete.png" style="height:15px;width:15px;"></img></a>

above code deletes the image ID but without deleting the image which works but i need as well to delete the image from the file.

<a href="inc/delete.php?id=<?php echo $i_id, unlink('photos/'.$i_img);?>"><img src="inc/delete.png" style="height:15px;width:15px;"></img></a>

above code called automatically whenever i refresh the page if there is an image it will delete it and it keeps the ID . my issue is that i want to perform that whenever i click on the delete image which deletes the image and unlink it as well. any help will be appreciated thanks.

Solution

  • well i did it this way and it works in case if someone later need the answer. 

    delete.php

        $id = $_GET["id"]; //ID OF THE ITEM FROM THE OTHER FILE
$select=mysql_query("select img from $table where id='$id'");
$image=mysql_fetch_array($select);
$img = $image['img'];
unlink("C:/wamp/www/ifinal/photos/$img");
$result=mysql_query("delete from $table where id='$id'");

    a href that sends the id to the delete.php

     <a href="inc/delete.php?id=<?php echo $i_id;?>"><img src="inc/delete.png" style="height:15px;width:15px;"></img></a>
