I have a problem to unlink my file in the subfolder. I want to delete the wonderful.pdf in the Test3 subfolder.Below is my coding:

<?php
$delete_file =  Test/Test2/Test3/wonderful.pdf;

unlink($delete_file);

?>

The result no response to delete the file. Hope someone can guide me how to unlink the file in the subfolder. Thanks.


Solution

  • You can use getcwd() function to get the current working directory. Manual: getcwd()

    <?php
    //Your project location like an example in Unix 
    // /var/www/Test/Test2/Test3/wonderful.pdf
    // then you $subfolder var will get this: Test2/Test3
    $filename = 'wonderful.pdf';
    $subfolder = 'Test3';
    $delete_file =  getcwd() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $subfolder . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $filename;
    
    unlink($delete_file);
    
    ?>
    

    Hope it helps.
