Hi all...
I'm working with files... the write_file works fine.. but.. how can I delete a file?
I try with the
Code:
$file_delete = '/var/www/xmlrpc/listas/'.$nombre_lista.".txt";
delete_files($file_delete);but does not work... so.. I try with the unlink
Code:
$file_delete = '/var/www/xmlrpc/listas/'.$nombre_lista.".txt";
unlink($file_delete);and does not work either.. the file was created by the write_file method of the file helper...
any ideas?
Bye

Hi latuss,
I think the problem is that unlink(...) does not like directories/paths.
I have vague memories of the same problem and my 'Kludge' was to:
1. save the directory where you are - getcwd()
2. change to the directory where the file exists - chdir()
3. unlink('the_file')
4. change back to the original directory.
Cheers,

I'm pretty sure unlink works ok using full paths.
Check if file_exists and is_writeable to check...
