PHP unlink command and using the second parameter
asked on

This is how I currently use it:
// DELETE FILES
$folder_path = '';
$files = '';
$folder_path = $_SESSION['TmpWorkPdfsToUpload'];
$files = glob($folder_path . '/*');
foreach($files as $file)
{
if (is_file($file))
{
try
{
$strRealLocation = realpath($file);
chmod($strRealLocation,0777);
unlink($strRealLocation);
echo '<BR>DELETED FILE: ' . $strRealLocation . PHP_EOL;
}catch(Exception $e){
echo 'Message: ' . $e->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
}
}else{
echo '<BR>NO FILES TO DELETE';
}
