that will work too... but you wont get a response back if the unlink fails
(other thn a nasty php error). you will with charles method.
plus sometimes things that arent a file will pass true on the file_exists()
function.
i mean you can do all the checks like
if (file_exists($dest_file) && is_file($dest_file) && etc etc etc) {
unlink($dest_file)
}
-- or -- do charles method and be sure if you want to delete it is gets
deleted.
if (unlink($dest_file)) {
// Actions when deleted
}else {
// Actions if file does not exist, or fails, or is errored, or etc etc
etc......
}
