Is it possible to delete a file(a jpg in fact) from a PHP script. I would like to ad this functionality to an existing script that deletes a record from a MySQL db. Only the image name is stored in the db.
Many Thanks

ya, just use unlink:

unlink("mypic.jpg");

It's returns 1 if deleted and 0 if not.
