PHP unlink() handling the exception

Question

Well, I have been wondering if I can handle the unlink() function properly. I dont want the unlink() function to throw some nasty error if it is un

Answer 1

If you want to only surpress the error, you can do this:

@unlink('your_file_name');

Generally, in php, @ will surpress any error.

The better way is minimize the error probability. You've say that one of error possibility is caused by non-exist file. If I were you, I'll do this:

if(file_exists('your_file_name')){
    unlink('your_file_name');
}else{
    echo 'file not found';
}

Good luck :)
