How to remove file from a diffrent directory with PHP?

Question

I have a PHP file with unlink() in application/views/delete/target.php and I want to delete a file in application/views/uploads/target.jpg. When I call target.php I want to remove both target.php and target.jpg but so far I was only able to remove the target in the delete/ folder.

<?php function destruct()
            { 
                unlink('../views/uploads/target.jpg');
                unlink('target.php');
            }
            destruct(); ?>

You need to go down one more directory, like this: unlink('../../views/uploads/target.jpg');, assuming you have permission to delete the file. — KIKO Software

../ is for one directorey so i always need to go one by one to the one that has the connection to the wanted one — Tim

Yes, I see that you could keep it simpler, like this: unlink('../uploads/target.jpg'); — KIKO Software

<?php function destruct()
            { 
                unlink('../uploads/4d.jpg');
                unlink('4d.php');
            }
            destruct(); ?>

I just needed to go down by one folder and enter next one.
