PHP – Move a file into a different folder on the server

October 20, 2022 by Magenaut

I need to allow users on my website to delete their images off the server after they have uploaded them if they no longer want them. I was previously using the unlink function in PHP but have since been told that this can be quite risky and a security issue. (Previous code below:)

Deleting file in Node.js

October 2, 2022 by Magenaut

I am using node in a Windows environment.
When I use fs.unlinkSync(fileName), it seems to work.
After the unlinkSync statement is executed, if I do a fs.existsSync(filename) it returns false indicating the file does not exists, but when I go to the physical drive I can still see the file.
