Question

I want to delete file. I know relative path from public directory.
Is any zend-way methods to delete file?
I think define BASE_DIR in index.php is not right way.

Answer 1

Assuming directory structure like this:

/application/
/public/
  /files
    file1

path to file1 is

$path = realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../public/files/file1')

then you may perform any string operations on this path
(e.g. check the length of your relative path and substract it from the ending of $path)

APPLICATION_PATH is already defined in index.php by Zend_Application.

Then you may delete the file using unlink.

It’s just a guess. You didn’t write how the file is stored.
