I have founda that trying to delete a file using relative path like the example below does not work.
$do = unlink("../pics/$fileToDel");
if($do=="1"){
echo "The file was deleted successfully.";
} else { echo "There was an error trying to delete the file."; }
I did not work at all, instead what I had to do was:
chdir('../pics/');
$do = unlink($fileToDel);
if($do=="1"){
echo "The file was deleted successfully.";
} else { echo "There was an error trying to delete the file."; }
Then it worked !

$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, '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.
$myFile = "testFile.txt";
unlink($myFile);
The testFile.txt should now be removed.
