Delete image permanently from upload folder.

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,

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.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
