Delete a file using a form..

I am trying to delete a file by using a form. So far I have a list of the files, can upload files, see the files, call on the files, but not delete the files.

If I have a form that allows me to input the file in question for deletion, then the form slaps the file name into a delete function ( need to look up the code ), then exicute the line of code?

thanks for any help on this.

Retrieve the value from your form and delete it like so:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (file_existg($_POST['filename'])){

   unlink($_POST['filename']);

} else {

   echo("File Does Not Exist!");

}

Function Information:
file_exists
unlink

Hope that helps!
