Thanks again for your help.
I have found the error. Your original code's conditional statement read:
if (!file_exists($filename)) {$pass=1;}
I missed the "!", so it would only delete the file if it did NOT exist. But
it does.
I have since corrected and simplified the code to this:
$pass=0;
$photo="../$hfCategory/photos/$hfItemNumber.jpg";
if (file_exists($photo)) {$pass=1;}
if ($pass==1) {unlink($photo);}
...and it works beautifully.
BTW: in my case, the "../" in the file path IS required in order to locate
the file. The actual sample file path is thus:
"../lifestyle/photos/6000.jpg"
F.H.
