PHP unset

[eluser]romenov[/eluser]
Hello all,

I am trying to delete a file from my server (currently hosted localy)
but when I use unset() within a certain function in my controller, it gives the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_UNSET


The code:

Code:

function deleteimage($id)
{
$return = unset(base_url() . $product["thumbnail"]);
}

(I stripped the rest out to check if that was causing the error but it isn't)

Any help would be welcome

thanks in advance

You should try this

Code:

function deleteimage($id)
{
$return = unlink(base_url() . $product["thumbnail"]);
}
