How to delete file inside folder in another directory with PHP

Question

I'm new to PHP. I want to delete a file from a folder in the parent of my path. I tried to do this with 'unlink' but failed.

How can I delete the '1.mp3' file in the admin/Records/mp3 folder while working on the index.php page, as in the image below.

Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem. — Community

You are missing some context here. I assume you are in a web page, running inside a web server like Apache, so it would be good to add that to your question. — halfer

It looks like your index.php is at the root of your project, so you could just do $projectRoot = realpath(__DIR__); to get the full pathname of the root, and then add the rest of the directories + filename to that. — halfer
