How to delete a zip file using php

How can I remove zipped directory using php code?

I have a folder test. In that folder there have a zipped directory name zip_folder.
I want to remove this zipped directory from test folder. How can I do this?

I wrote some code, but its not working. This is my code:

$name = "zip_folder";
chmod('./test/'.$name.'.zip',777);
unlink('./test/'.$name.'.zip');

I got an error like this:

<div style="border:1px solid #990000;padding-left:20px;margin:0 0 10px 0;">



<h4>A PHP Error was encountered</h4>



<p>Severity: Warning</p>

<p>Message:  unlink(./test/zip_folder.zip) [<a href='function.unlink'>function.unlink</a>]: Permission denied</p>

<p>Filename: controllers/super_admin.php</p>

<p>Line Number: 590</p>



</div>

What is the problem in my code?

In zip_folder have subfolders also. In test folder there have zip_folder.zip and zip_folder folder. That means there have zipped copy of zip_folder and an original folder of zip_folder. I need to remove only the zipped copy of zip_folder.

Try below function for deleting folders and subfolders… You need to pass only folder path…

function rrmdir($dir) {
    if (is_dir($dir)) {
        $objects = scandir($dir);
            foreach ($objects as $object) {
                if ($object != "." && $object != "..") {
                    if (filetype($dir."/".$object) == "dir") rrmdir($dir."/".$object); else unlink($dir."/".$object);
                }
            }
        reset($objects);
        rmdir($dir);
    }
    return true;
}
