Delete image permanently from upload folder. - hamid - 06-05-2018
Hi,
I have a website & sometimes need to delete & update records from the site. Several records in many tables has image and we upload image to add a new record. But I am not sure whether should we delete the images permanently whenever delete the corresponding records.
Thanks
Hamid Khan

@hamid,
suggestion...you could just flag the record/image in the table and not show it and if you change your mind later you could just delete all flagged records. I would only discourage keeping old images if hosting space becomes an issue.

Code:
table field for soft deletes
deleted tinyint(1) not null default 0,
deleted = 1 image is deleted do not show.
deleted = 0 image is ok so show it.RE: Delete image permanently from upload folder. - hamid - 06-07-2018
