<div>
<form name="deleteform" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?delete=true';?> >
<input type="button" name="picfile" value="<?php echo $file; ?>">
<input type="submit" value="Delete">
</div>
PHP code:
<?php
if(isset($_GET['delete']) && $_GET['delete']=='true') {
unlink("/uploads/".$_POST['picfile']);
}
?>
The unlink() function delete a file from server.
<?php
$file = "uploads/image.jpg";
if (!unlink($file))
{
echo ("Error deleting $file");
}
else
{
echo ("Deleted $file");
}
?>
