  1. as the script is run from "public_html/eticaret/admin/includes/" you need to .. traverse back 3 directories to get to public_html which is a common ancestor folder for both image and script

  2. according to your directory image your images are in public_html/myproject/images/products/ and according to error detailed in your comment you are trying to delete from images/urunler/ I assume urunler is the actual project name.

if the folder containg your images is urunler try $delete = unlink("../../../images/urunler/".$img); if the container folder is products try $delete = unlink("../../../images/products/".$img);

if that fails try using an absolute path instead of a relative path.

Thanks for all answers. I have a fault on this topic. Image name is xxx.jpg in my database but xxx.jpeg in the folder. but there is an interesting situation: if you have an image as .jpeg format, you can open on browser as .jpg format. I've tried a lot of methods to solve the above error, but I've found that. I using chrome browser now.

So i solved my problem yet :)

Before running unlink() command you can check the existence of the file to get rid of such error

$path = "../../images/products/".$img;
if (file_exists(path)) {   
    unlink($path)                        
}

Better is using the full directory path (absolute path). An example, let your project structure is enter image description here

and your unlinking code is in script.php, then your can get full absolute path the following way

$path = __DIR__ . "/../../images/products/{$img}";
if (file_exists(path)) {   
    unlink($path)                        
}
