Seems like a common thing to want to do = if file exists, delete before uploading/updating record. From searching around I gather that I would use some sort of "unlink()" function, but as a php noob I'm lost to what it should look like and where to place it... Help please...????

My code: <pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;?php
// Pure PHP Upload 2.1.3
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['GP_upload'])) {
$ppu = new pureFileUpload();

$ppu-&gt;formName = "form1";
$ppu-&gt;storeType = "file";

$ppu-&gt;requireUpload = "true";
