http://www.php.net/function.unlink

unlink() takes a string as an argument, and deletes the file at that
path. For example, to delete /usr/local/foo/bar.txt, just call:

unlink("/usr/local/foo/bar.txt");

Of course this assumes that permissions are set correctly. You'll
probably need write permissions on the file or directory for the user
account that your webserver runs under.

Can someone detail the differences between these two? On Windows which is preferred? Also, is it true that win32api.DeleteFile() can remove the 'special' files located in the 'special' folders only accessible by the shell object such as Temporary Internet Files, etc. Thanks!

Is there any PHP.INI config or windows permission (win 2003) that can prevent PHP to unlink files with the system path? unlink works with relative path: @unlink("temp\0000058.txt") but it is not workinng with the absolute path @unlink("C:\htdocs\temp\0000058.txt") the thing is I use unlink within a function called from different directories, so I use absolute path to make sure the path is correct.

I'm a newbie to php. I am trying to delete a file from the server that I put there (one file, not the whole directory). I am using unlink ($filename); I did the path as a relative path as follows: .../images/6/image_001.JPG I did a scandir $files = scandir("../images/6"); The print_r ($files); shows that the file is one of the files present.
