DELETE FILE not working

Hi,

the server behavior DELETE FILE is not working.

Warning: unlink(/www/htdocs/localhero/artistImages) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in /www/htdocs/localhero/webassist/file_manipulation/helperphp.php on line 763

Warning: unlink(/www/htdocs/localhero/artistImages/fb) [function.unlink]: Is a directory in /www/htdocs/localhero/webassist/file_manipulation/helperphp.php on line 763

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /www/htdocs/localhero/webassist/file_manipulation/helperphp.php:763) in /www/htdocs/localhero/members/delete/deleteAll.php on line 166

Yes I know "Permission denied" - All folders are on 777.

And on my update page the DELETE FILE is working, caus it DELETES the old file after uploading the new file.

Only if I want to delete all files and the account it does not work :-(

Any suggestion?

Denis

send a copy of the page so i can see how the delete behavior is set up.

Hi Jason,

I think I got my error.
Do I always have to have a hidden field for the image name that hast be be deleted?
When I use a hidden field insted of the recordset it works perfectly!

Cheers,
Denis

well, if you use a recordset for the file name, there are 2 things to bear in mind:

1) the code for the recordset must come before the file delete behavior.

2) make sure that any filter that is needed to filter the recordset is passed with the form

it's simpler to just use the hidden element.

Thanks for your great support Jason!

cheers,
Denis

I have a similar problem also not sure to open a new thread or use this one:


Warning: unlink(/home/dd/public_html/images/slides): Is a directory in /home/dd/public_html/webassist/file_manipulation/helperphp.php on line 763

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/dd/public_html/webassist/file_manipulation/helperphp.php:763) in /home/dd/public_html/admin/slides_detail.php on line 133

Warning: unlink(/home/dd/public_html/images/slides): Is a directory in /home/dd/public_html/webassist/file_manipulation/helperphp.php on line 763

the delete behaivor:

<?php
$WA_DeleteFileResult2 = false;
if(isset($_POST["Delete"]) || isset($_POST["Delete_x"])){
	$WA_DeleteFileResult2 = WA_FileAssist_DeleteFile("../images/slides/", "".((isset($_POST["SLBg"]))?$_POST["SLBg"]:"")  ."");
}?>

is set to use the SLBg form element


the onclick event for the delete button:

onClick="document.getElementById('LAYId').value=<?php echo $row_WADAivs_mod_slidecap['idCaption']; ?>;document.getElementById('LAYImg').value='<?php echo $row_WADAivs_mod_slidecap['capPicture']; ?>';"

is setting the value for the LAYImg form element, it needs to set the value for the one being used by the delete behavior, SLBg

Hello Jason Thank you for the replay the point is that there are more than one delete button, both open in different modal boxes

The first one:

<button type="button" value="Delete" class="btn btn-danger" id="DeleteConfirm" name="DeleteConfirm" data-original-title="Delete" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#AllDelete" ><i class="fa fa-trash-o"></i> Delete</button>

Calls
<input type="submit" value="Delete" class="btn btn-danger tip" id="Delete" name="Delete" data-original-title="ARE YOU SURE" />

The second one is the one you pointed

The thing is that the first one deletes the main category and all articles related with it

the one you pointed deletes a single article but keeps the category

That is why you find at the end of the code 2 different delete buttons for triggering propose

<input type="submit" value="Delete" class="btn btn-danger tip" id="Delete" name="Delete" data-original-title="ARE YOU SURE" />
<input type="submit" value="Delete" class="btn btn-danger tip" id="DeleteL" name="DeleteL" data-original-title="ARE YOU SURE" />

If i take out

<?php
$WA_DeleteFileResult2 = false;
if(isset($_POST["Delete"]) || isset($_POST["Delete_x"])){
$WA_DeleteFileResult2 = WA_FileAssist_DeleteFile("../images/slides/", "".((isset($_POST["SLBg"]))?$_POST["SLBg"]:"") ."");
}?>

My first delete button wont delete the complete category picture in other words, also i notice that if it has a picture it will only show this msg

the onclick code needs to send information to popualte all of the hidden elements,

you have 3 different deletes and 3 different hidden elements for the image name, but the onclick code is only sending a value to one, it needs to send a value to all 3.

I added the onclick to the first delete

<button type="button" value="Delete" class="btn btn-danger" id="DeleteConfirm" name="DeleteConfirm" data-original-title="Delete" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#AllDelete" onclick="document.getElementById('WADADeleteRecordID').value=<?php echo($row_WADAivs_mod_slides["idSlide"]); ?>;document.getElementById('SLBg').value='<?php echo $row_WADAivs_mod_slides['slideBackground']; ?>';" ><i class="fa fa-trash-o"></i> Delete</button>

Still the same problem also see private
