Hi guys,

I have to write a PHP maintenance program for trimming a website database
(MySql).
The page will have an input field for a master record number, after
validation
it then will delete records in a transaction file together with an image
stored
in another sub-directory.  The image name is obtained from the record that
is deleted.

Amongst others, I have tried doing the following:
$homedir = "http://www.mysite.com/clnt_images/";;
$images= $recimage;  /* image id is obtained from record */
$userfile= $homedir.$images;
unlink ("$userfile");

The error message I get is:
Warning: unlink(http://www.mysite.com/clnt_images/tel.gif)
[function.unlink]: Invalid argument

It needs to work on a Win server as well as Linux.

Could you please suggest an alternative?

TIA!
Peet
