I am trying to upload an image with a random name, also when I update the image, I want the previous image to be deleted.
Code below:
$banner=$_FILES ['banner']['name'];
$upload="../image/banner/";
$target_file = $upload.basename($_FILES["banner"]["name"]);
$imagefiletype= pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["banner"]["tmp_name"], $target_file );
Any help will be appreciated.
When update your new images at that time first store old image name in variable. after update true then delete old image in your directory using "unlink" function.
$old_image = "xyz" // store old image name
after update query success
unlink('../image/banner/'.$old_image); // delete old image in your directory
You can do it like this.
$path = 'image/folder/'; $unique_name=time().uniqid(rand());
$File_with_location = $path . $unique_name . '.' . strtolower(pathinfo($_FILES['img']['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
$filename = $_FILES["img"]["tmp_name"];
move_uploaded_file($filename, $File_with_location);
for deleting old image you can use this
$path = './root/home/folder/file.jpg';
if (unlink($path)) {
echo 'success';
} else {
echo 'fail';
}
