How do I delete a single file from a folder? - php

Question

How do I delete a single file from a folder? When I click my delete link, it removes all uploaded files from the folder.
The link:
<td>Delete
The code:
<?php
// Including the database connection file
include_once 'Ad_updbconnect.php';
// Getting Id of the data from url
$Id = $_GET['Id'];
$Del = glob('uploads/*'); // Get all file names
foreach ($Del as $File) {
if (is_file($File)) {
unlink($File); // delete file !
}
}
// Deleting the row from table
$Result = mysqli_query ($Con, "DELETE FROM ibgsec_uploads WHERE Id=$Id");
$Row = mysqli_fetch_array($Result);
// Redirecting to the display page.
header("location: Ad_uploads.php");
?>
This is the only thing left I'm working on, I've tried lots of ways to properly execute the command but it does not work.

Your code explicitly deletes every file in uploads. What did you expect?
$Del = glob('uploads/*'); // Get all file names
foreach ($Del as $File) {
if (is_file($File)) {
unlink($File); // delete file !
}
}
Is $Id a file name? Seems risky but all the same you would want to try comparing that to $File. Compare something to $File otherwise you're just deleting them all.
You also are naming your param in the link $Id: <a href="Ad_delete.php?$Id=<?php echo $Row['Id'];?>" but fetching it as Id: $Id = $_GET['Id'];. Then you open yourself up to SQL injection by including that in the database query.
