I'm not understanding the logic in all the loops and such here. And why comparing the first 5 characters? That seems kind of dangerous. Why don't you pass the name of the main file ($file = "image1.jpg" for example) then: 1. unlink $file in images 2. unlink $file in big 3. unlink $file . ".txt" in big I don't follow the logic of looping through the files in a folder unless you might have other files associated with the image+thumbnail+descriptionfile that you can't anticipate. In which case, I wouldn't check the first 5 characters, I'd check: If (Mid($FileInDir,0,strlen($FileToDelete)) = $FileToDelete) unlink($FileInDir); Then you're checking the full "image1.jpg" and not "image" (first 5 characters... What happens if you have an "image2.jpg", does it and it's associated thumbnail and description files get deleted too?) I only gave this script a cursory look-over, so forgive me if I missed something, but by the comments and the quick glance of the code, I'm assuming that I understand what's going on. -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: Lenny Davila [mailto:Lenny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 4:08 PM > To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Multiple file Delete > > > I need to be able to delete multiple files from my web server > by choosing one file.
