PHP - unlink won't delete files - php

Question

Essentially, the following code works fine except for the 'unlink' sections. The record is located and deleted in the database, but the file in the server directory remains untouched.
I know that 'pageLocation' is accurate because I've used it to load files.
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['btnSubmitEdit']))
{
$allowed_filetypes = array('.jpg','.jpeg','.png');
$max_filesize = 10485760;
$setComic = $_SESSION['comicID'];
$setPage = $_SESSION['currentPage'];
$upload_path = 'comics/'.$setComic.'/';
$filename = $_FILES['fileToEdit']['name'];
$ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1);
if(!in_array($ext,$allowed_filetypes))
die('The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.');
if(filesize($_FILES['fileToEdit']['tmp_name']) > $max_filesize)
die('The file you attempted to upload is too large.');
if(!is_writable($upload_path))
die('You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.');
include_once('includes/conn.inc.php');
$query1 = ("SELECT pageLocation FROM page WHERE pageID = '$setPage'");
$result1 = mysqli_query($conn, $query1);
while ($row = $result1->fetch_assoc())
{
unlink('/"'.$row['pageLocation'].'"');
}
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileToEdit']['tmp_name'],$upload_path . $filename))
{
mysqli_query($conn, "UPDATE page SET pageLocation='".$upload_path . $filename."' WHERE pageID=".$setPage."");
mysqli_close($conn);
}
else
{
echo 'There was an error during the file upload. Please try again.';
}
header('Location: uploadPage.php');
}
if(isset($_POST['btnSubmitDelete']))
{
$setPage = $_SESSION['currentPage'];
include_once('includes/conn.inc.php');
$query2 = ("SELECT pageLocation FROM page WHERE pageID = '$setPage'");
$result2 = mysqli_query($conn, $query2);
while ($row = $result2->fetch_assoc())
{
unlink('/"'.$row['pageLocation'].'"');
mysqli_query($conn, "DELETE FROM page WHERE pageID = '$setPage'");
}
header('Location: uploadPage.php');
}
?>
