Delete FTP Files

I'm creating a delete script and I ran into some problems.

What it does is theres a list of files that are in a mysql db, that is also inside the ftp. Theres a table that contains the file location such as Downloads/Files/Games/editor.rar

with that list theres a button next to it saying delete. When it deletes the row from the mysql db I also want the file to be deleted from the ftp aswell. Help is much appreciated.

ok i fixed that last question is

how do i make a file move from 1 folder to another through php.

Use ftp_delete().

yea i got that just need help with the moving.

Hello, you can:

1. Use copy() to copy the file to the other/second directory, then use unlink() to delete the file in the first directory;
2. According to PHP Manual on copy(), you can use rename() to move a file. (I haven't tried this yet).

Regards.

Nice work cherish.:thumb:

Just to kind of add to this, I would suggest rename for the moving of a file. It will ultimately result in less file system fragmentation and it is simpler to code.

I agree. :) :thumb:

well I missed these posts but I have tried the rename command it it gives some open restrict error so instead what works for me and I'm already using is,

touch, to create an empty file in the new dir
fopen to open the empty file and write each line from the original file to it
ftp_del to delete the original file

maybe more code but works like a charm :-D.

This is all for an edit script but I found something funky in my edit script heh. Maybe you all can help with this sorry to bug.

Code:

        echo("<center>

It works fine im not sure bout ending part I may have an extra few } cause I copy and pasted and too lazy to figure out whats what since I didn't comment but the problem is the following.

It displays everything perfectly. It lists 1-10 lets say. If I edit #1 all the others disapear from the list unless I take out the edit=true&hid=1 from editfiles.php the url and return it back to normal so it just shows the list. If I edit #3 4-10 dissapear and 1-3 stay. If i edit 4 #1-4 stay and #5-10 leave. Hopefully someone can help me from the code above.

... lol i must be retarded or something i just had the querys conflicting. sorry again to bother.

<?php
exec('xcopy d:\\php E:\\a\b\php /e/i', $a, $a1);
