[PHP] Removing files from a directory

[Niklas Lampén]

I'm trying to remove files from a directory. I have this code to do it:

This code is in a included file located at '/map/'. File including this code
is located at '/'. Files to be removed are located at '/map/'.

$Handle = opendir('map/');
 while ($file = readdir($Handle)) {
  if (substr($file, 0, 3) == md_) {
   $split = explode(_, $file);
   if ((time() - $split[1])  300) {
unlink($file);
   };
  };
 };

What this does is return a Internal Server Error! If add do
unlink(map/.$file); it returns file not found. What to do? What is wrong?

Solved it by myself. :)

unlink($file); needs to be *exact* address to the file to be unlinked like
/www/dir/map/$file.

Just in case if someone else meets this problem!
