}
}
// check if we have an image
if ($image != "") {
// ok we have the image

remove @ and check if it throws any error. You are supposed to delete the file with the extension ! Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Kevin,
If you're sending the images out in an email, then yes you're right, the absolute links would be required. For the file exists, the relative links would suffice, or use the $_SERVER function (I think that is right).
A good way to test for the time being might be to produce a web page as opposed to an email. Get that working and then send it out as an email?
Just a thought.
Rob.

heh.. no probs ! As the warning itself says, chmod didn't find the file (and hence unlink didn't work). Check if the path to the file is correct for chmod and unlink!

i have edited the code slightly and am getting a different error. it is now saying
: No such file or directory in /home/acmeart/public_html/mercury/upload.php on line 28)
please correct me if i am wrong but to me it looks like it is trying to delete a file from the wrong place. the file i want removed is in the directory
the warning looks to me if it is lokking for the image in the
directory on the server.

Hey Kevin,
For the unlink, your code would need to read:

we must have got on to that at the same time i was just about to put this up when i seen your reply. thanks. i have got the code to work now i modified it so it now looks like this
i have moved the code on to its own page and used the include once function and it works fine it removes the file.
the problem now is the cache it is displaying old images instead of the new ones that have been uploaded. i found this code to stop the caching of the images but it has not seemed to work
<?php
$path='image/thumbs/';
$fileToRemove1 = 'thumb_image1';
$exts = array('jpg', 'png', 'gif', 'jpeg');
foreach($exts as $ext) {
if (file_exists($path.'/'.$fileToRemove1.'.'.$ext))
{
unlink($path.'/'.$fileToRemove1.'.'.$ext);
}
}
