unlink() in a loop???

[Eric Haskins]

I have a script that allows users to upload pics and enter personal info
into Database (not pictures i only store filename in db). The form passes
the pics using $_FILES['pic1'] .. pic2 and so on to pic10

I have run into a couple cases where someone messes up info on the form and
script warns them and exits. When it does this the files are already
uploaded to the respective directory. I have tried to move the upload
scripts for each file to the end of the script but when an upload fails say
on pic10 there are still 9 pics already uploaded.

Is there anyway to have the script clean up after an error to unlink the
files? Also is there any way to do this with a loop so I dont have to write
unlink($docdir.$pic1) ..2 ...3 and so on? I would also like to add this to
my admin so when a user cancels I can delete their pics along with db info

If you do not move the uploaded files from their temporary upload path then
PHP will delete them automatically at the end of the request. That's what
the docs say, anyway.

"The file will be deleted from the temporary directory at the end of the
request if it has not been moved away or renamed."
