PHP Delete File

In PHP, we can delete any file using unlink() function. The unlink() function accepts one argument only: file name. It is similar to UNIX C unlink() function.

PHP unlink() generates E_WARNING level error if file is not deleted. It returns TRUE if file is deleted successfully otherwise FALSE.

Syntax

$filename represents the name of the file to be deleted.

<?php    
$status=unlink('data.txt');  
if($status){
echo "File deleted successfully";  
}else{
echo "Sorry!";  
}
?>
