Deleting a Specific Image from a File

Question

I am currently working on a new project, using Codeigniter, it is my first experience and I do not find great help, I want the user to be able to delete a photo chosen by him from his folder, The controller: `

public function delete()
    {
        delete_files('C:\wamp64\www\uploads\_back');
    }`

The view:`

{imagesback}
                                    <div class="col-sm-2">
                                        {ver}
                                    <img src="{path}" style="width: 100%; height: 100px;">
                                    <p>{name}</p>
                                    <button name="nameimagetodelete" onclick="do_delete('{name}')"></button>
                                    </div>
                                    {/imagesback}

`

and Javascript`<

script type="text/javascript">
    function do_delete(name){
        var r = confirm("You sure?");
        if (r == true) 
        {
            window.location.href = "<?php echo site_url('admin/delete');?>?name="+name;
        }
        else
        {
            x = "Action canceled";
            alert(x);
        }
    }
</script>

`

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

since you do not indicate which error you are getting, it becomes more difficult to help.

but it may be for lack of loading the lib of the responsalvel condingniter by the files

you can do this by adding the following line of code to your controller $this->load->helper('file');

then you may be having trouble using the absolute path of the file
