Topic awaiting preservation: Deleting Files (Page 1 of 1)

I want to delete all the files into a folder, Weadz gave me a little script that I didn't test because i lost my HD, so i was trying with:

<? // 

$p = "/usr/www/htdocs/artreves/robadas/temp";

$d = opendir($p);

while($f = readdir($d))

    {

		if($f <> "." and $f <> ".."){

	unlink("$f");

	}

		}



?>

Which repeats the same messase as many times as files in the dir:

Warning: Unlink failed (No such file or directory) in /usr/www/htdocs/artreves/deletetemp.php on line 11

And If i print $f instead of 'unlink' it shous the filename.....

Any ideas or other way to do it?

I'm not positive, but it could be a permissions problem. Check the CHMOD on the file that you are trying to delete the files from.

Even with permissions ok.........

You need to pass full path to the unlink() function, because your PHP script is not located in the same folder as files that you want to delete.

<?

$p = "/usr/www/htdocs/artreves/robadas/temp";
$d = opendir($p);
while ($f = readdir($d))
{
&nbsp;&nbsp;if ($f <> "." and $f <> "..")
&nbsp;&nbsp;{
&nbsp;&nbsp;unlink("$p/$f");
&nbsp;&nbsp;}
}

?>

Weeeeeeee!
it works now!!!
Thanks again mr.maX
