I have a javascript function below where it removes an appended file name from .listImage when the user clicks on the "Delete" button:
function stopImageUpload(success, imagefilename){
var result = '';
if (success == 1){
result = '<span class="msg">The file was uploaded successfully!</span><br/><br/>';
$('.listImage').eq(window.lastUploadImageIndex).append('<div>' + htmlEncode(imagefilename) + '<button type="button" class="deletefileimage">Delete</button><br/><hr/></div>');
}
else {
result = '<span class="emsg">There was an error during file upload!</span><br/><br/>';
}
$(".deletefileimage").on("click", function(event) {
$(this).parent().remove();
});
return true;
}
As you can see the $(".deletefileimage").on("click", function(event) {
is used to delete the correct appended file name.
But what I want to do is that when the user deletes a file name, it also deletes the file from the server. So I am trying to use this code: unlink($_FILES["fileImage"]["temp_name"]);
to delete the file from the server.
But what I want to know is that where do I store this code so that it uses the javascript function to delete the appended file name but then be able to go onto the php script to delete the file from the server?
BELOW IS the php script (imageupload.php) where the uploading of files occur:
<?php
session_start();
$result = 0;
if( file_exists("ImageFiles/".$_FILES['fileImage']['name'])) {
$parts = explode(".",$_FILES['fileImage']['name']);
$ext = array_pop($parts);
$base = implode(".",$parts);
$n = 2;
while( file_exists("ImageFiles2/".$base."_".$n.".".$ext)) $n++;
$_FILES['fileImage']['name'] = $base."_".$n.".".$ext;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileImage"]["tmp_name"],
"ImageFiles2/" . $_FILES["fileImage"]["name"]);
$result = 1;
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileImage"]["tmp_name"],
"ImageFiles2/" . $_FILES["fileImage"]["name"]);
$result = 1;
}
?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">window.top.stopImageUpload(<?php echo $result ? 'true' : 'false'; ?>, '<?php echo $_FILES['fileImage']['name'] ?>');</script>
