PHP - unlink not properly working

I'm trying to delete cookie files with the unlink() function and it's not working properly

I tried this code (found on php.net)

<?php array_map('unlink', glob("some/dir/*.txt")); ?>

But it do not delete the last created file...

Solution

  • There are any number of reasons your code may be failing on one file but not the others. It doesn't appear to be a logic error, but the first thing I would do is try to rewrite this as a loop rather than using array_map().

    Then I would check for an error after each call to unlink() if it returns FALSE: if (!(unlink($file)) print_r(error_get_last()); and see what the system tells you about what's going on.
