How to Unlink PHP file:
When you view the contents of a directory you can see all the files that exist in that directory because the operating system or application that you are using displays a list of filenames. You can think of these filenames as links that join the files to the directory you are currently viewing.
If you unlink a file, you are effectively causing the system to forget about it or delete it! we can delete (unlink) a file, you must first be sure that it is not open in your program. Use the fclose function to close down an open file.
<?php
$File = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($File, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fclose($fh);
?>
Now to delete testFile.txt we simply run a PHP script that is located in the same directory. Unlink just needs to know the name of the file to start working its destructive magic.
PHP Code:
<?php
$File = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($File, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fclose($fh);
?>
The testFile.txt should now be removed.
