php error in Preg_Match

Question

well here it is crashing on line 76 and throwing the error in the Preg_match statement Why?
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in /home/content/73/9352073/html/includes.php on line 76

line 76 reads if(preg_match("index.php", $_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME]))

I cannot see a syntax error can you?

Thanks Rob

You don't have any delimiters around the pattern, try:

if(preg_match("/index.php/", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']))

Try posting more of your code next time as errors for specific lines can sometimes be caused 'upstream'. I think we may have been lucky this time.

Are you trying to delete a file or a folder ? For folders you need to use rmdir. If it is a file, remove the last slash.

At the top of the script. But the easier way, would be to set a default timezone in your php.ini

thanks workedlike a charm...

but what about this

Warning: unlink(../banners/1337667558_dell_logo_text_sm.gif/) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/content/73/9352073/html/siteadmin/delete_banner.php on line 9

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/73/9352073/html/siteadmin/delete_banner.php:9) in /home/content/73/9352073/html/siteadmin/delete_banner.php on line 14

here are the files

delere_banner.php

<?
require_once("../conn.php");
require_once("access.php");

$q1 = "select * from class_banners where BannerID = '$_GET[id]' ";
$r1 = mysql_query($q1) or die(mysql_error());
$a1 = mysql_fetch_array($r1);

unlink("../banners/$a1[BannerFile]/");

$q1 = "delete from class_banners where BannerID = '$_GET[id]' ";
mysql_query($q1) or die(mysql_error());

header("location:banners.php");

exit();

?>

any idea where the error lies it is still in the directory structure nomenclature correct?

this is happening in a script that creates a membership timelimit

$rexp is never given a value. It should be a result from a query.
