[solved]Delete File message unwanted

Postby mickeymouse » 19. March 2012 23:18

I want to allow my user to delete a file. He does this by entering the file name in a form and submits it.

My code for the delete is:
if (!unlink($file))
but if the delete doen't work, e.g., the file is not there, I get (in my test) the following message and I suppose my user will get the same message.

"Warning: unlink(dinapoli_anntest.jpg) [function.unlink]:
No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\Annuaire\AF_DeleteFile.php on line 40"

Is there something I can do to prevent getting this message. (I give my user my own message.)

Thank you / Danke!

Hi mickeymouse,

you can check if the file exists before you try to delete a not present file: file_exists()

best wishes,
