I have founda that trying to delete a file using relative path like the example below does not work.



    $do = unlink("../pics/$fileToDel");

    if($do=="1"){

        echo "The file was deleted successfully.";

    } else { echo "There was an error trying to delete the file."; } 



I did not work at all, instead what I had to do was: 



    chdir('../pics/');

    $do = unlink($fileToDel);

    if($do=="1"){

        echo "The file was deleted successfully.";

    } else { echo "There was an error trying to delete the file."; }



Then it worked !

$myFile = "testFile.txt";

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");

fclose($fh);



Now to delete testFile.txt we simply run a PHP script that is located in the same directory. Unlink just needs to know the name of the file to start working its destructive magic.



$myFile = "testFile.txt";

unlink($myFile);



The testFile.txt should now be removed.
