delete file php linux
 
hi,

i wanna ask on how to delete a file or a certain file in linux by using php or in other word by using web browser.
example i want to delete the file inside /var/www/cgi-bin/ with browser.
thank you.

Kind regards,
Athrin

the remove command in linux is

Code:
rm -f /var/www/cgi-bin/somefile
the parameter -f is a forced remove, so he wont ask that you are sure for deleting that file
if you do want that he asks you that, just leave it out

but for deleting a file through a website...? don't know, try experimenting with that

athrin 04-28-2011 01:54 AM
i already experiment with
Code:
1.system('rm -f /var/www/cgi-bin/delete.sh')
2.shell_exec('rm -rf /var/www/cgi-bin/delete.sh');
not working

brownie_cookie 04-28-2011 02:03 AM

oh you mean delete.sh color turn into green right? if so.. its already executable

brownie_cookie 04-28-2011 02:09 AM
euhm.. yes, but you can also check it with
Code:
ls -l
and this should be in front of your script
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  7422 Apr 28 07:44 delete.sh
but that should be fine.

but i also mean if the folders are accessible


I don't think that are the problems, but it's worth checking

athrin 04-28-2011 02:12 AM
yup.. its accessible.

brownie_cookie 04-28-2011 02:42 AM
okay, but have you tried that link i showed you?

athrin 04-28-2011 02:48 AM
when i tried this from the link that you just give
Code:
$myFile = "delete.sh";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fclose($fh);
output: can't open file

that mean my file cant be opened.. =_=. then ofcourse cant use unlink..

try to run your file on your host (not through your website)
and put some echo's or things in your script that shows you where he get stuck
(debug it...)
