i was already deleted images which is in database.i am not talking about admin side. i am talking about images which is in folder when we are uploadimages that images are stores in one folder. i want to delete images from that folder.

Thats exactly what i am talking about... before deleting the image entry from ur database, get the file name and call unlink() function...
u can happily delete it from ur database after that..
hope i made my point clear

$qDelUsers = "UPDATE duckdecoy_product  SET product_image = '' WHERE `product_id` ='$id'";
	getSqlQuery($qDelUsers);

above code is for assigning null value to product image when i am deleting product. after that what will i do to delete from folder?

After executing the above query.Get the image name with path.Then use the unlink function .

$img = "Full img path with file name";
eg:$img = "admin/uploads/images/test.jpg";

unlink ($img);

//e.g. in a config file - although should this be a constant as opposed to a variable?
 
$base_image_directory = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/admin/uploads/images/";

//In any file within the site - no relative references to worry about.
  unlink($base_image_directory . 'test.jpg');

Mind you a delete_img($file) function may be a better way.

it would also be a good idea to place the delete from database call inside an if statement, that way if the file delete fails you will still have the database info. That kind of coincides with ardavs comment.

<?php
   if(unlink($file)) {
      // delete info from database
   }
<?
