Magento – How to Delete an Image from Media Folder

adminadminhtmldatabasemagento-1.7magento-1.8

Is there any method to delete files in magento? I have a custom module using which I can upload images to the folder media. Now I am planning to provide a delete option under each uploaded images(uploaded images will display in my module). When delete option clicked, it should delete images from media folder and its name from the custom table

custom table name : banner
custom field name for storing image names :  images
         (names are separated by commas)
module : custom admin module use to upload multiple images
module model name : banner/banner

Is it really necessary to delete images from media folder. Please provide your suggestions. Thanks in advance

Because Magento is based on PHP, there is a method to delete files: unlink ;-)

Beside of this very basic method I can't find any class in Magento or the attached Zend_Framework which offers a file abstraction.

You are running the Microsoft IIS webserver, as IIS doesn't work with the .htaccess you need to active the url redirect to get it working, to do this open (or create) the web.config file in you webdirectory and insert this:

<rewrite> 
<rules> 
<rule name="Imported Rule 1” stopProcessing="true"> 
<match url=".*" ignoreCase="false" /> 
<conditions> 
<add input="{URL}" pattern="^/(media|skin|js)/" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" /> 
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" /> 
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" /> 
</conditions> 
<action type="Rewrite\" url="index.php" /> 
</rule> 
</rules> 
</rewrite>

I never tried using Magento with the IIS webserver, so maybe it is a better solution to use the Apache server on your windows machine, this way you can use the .htaccess files that comes with Magento.
