Server-side file managing

---------------------------------

Hello!

1 - How can I delete a file (say "C:\dog.jpg") using a php script?

2 - How can I limit the upper size of uploaded files to 200 Kb

Thank you!

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.delete.php
and
a good start for 2. would be http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php


Cheers,

You can do something like this:

Code: Select all

function delete_file($file){
    $delete = @unlink($file);
     if (@file_exists($file)){
   $filesys = eregi_replace("/","\\",$file);   
   $delete = @system("del $filesys");
    if (@file_exists($file))
    {
    $delete = @chmod($file, 0755);
    $delete = @unlink($file);
    $delete = @system("del $filesys");
    }
     }
}


Don´t forget to change the directory´s permissions where the file is into!

to bezmond and swirlee too....
i'm recommend firstly read about permitions and deleting files in different OS...... like in Windows and x/nix
