xattr_remove — Remove an extended attribute
This function removes an extended attribute of a file.
Extended attributes have two different namespaces: user
and root. The user namespace is available to all users, while the root namespace
is available only to users with root privileges. xattr operates on the user
namespace by default, but this can be changed with the
flags parameter.
filenameThe file from which we remove the attribute.
nameThe name of the attribute to remove.

$file = 'some_file';
