Banging my head against the wall with this one. How might one go about implementing something along the lines of the following concept? I know even less of html than I do php, so not a good combination. 
<button type=\"submit\" value=\"delete\" onclick=\"<?php rm (".$file1.", ".$file2."); ?>\">Delete</button>
Thanks in advance,
Matt
1. rm is not a PHP function
2. button should be input
3. PHP is done server side, so you need the user to submit a form with all the data
1. rm is not a PHP function
Oops. Old habits die hard. Unlink is the one I have in there. That is the correct equivalent of rm, is it not?
2. button should be input
Cheers.

Mind if I ask one more question on this bit? Do I take the php section out and supply the filenames to another script? Something along the lines of:
<form method=\"post\" action=\"page.php?subpage=\"delete\"?".$file1.",".$file2."\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Delete\" onclick=\"submit\"/></input></form>
Or can the deletion bit actually be called from within that section above? Apologies for what may appear to be obviously simple questions. I'm just having a tad of a problem getting my head around this bit.
p.s: Is there a good online resource for html scripting/writing information and tutorials?
Thanks ever so much once again,
Matt
You will indeed have to submit the files to be removed to an external file. And yes, unlink() is the correct function.

Cheers. The penny is finally beginning to drop with how to go about things now. One last question if I may. The HTTP_POST_VARS bit. Is there any documentation on the site regarding them, and the syntax that should be utilised with them, or is it a case of trying to figure it out from the various scripts?
Thanks once again,
Matt
One note before I start: $HTTP_POST_VARS is deprecated, you should use the $_POST superglobal instead
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, $_POST (and all the superglobals) are simply arrays with the keys being the parameters passed. So here for example, if my URL is http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=91477, $_GET will contain one element, pid, with a value of 91477.

Thanks for that. I'll make sure I use that method.

Apologies if I'm appearing a bit vague with my questions. Between trying to master the basics of both php and html, I am going into that mindstate of no return. What I was meaning to ask, working on your example above, is that if one wishes to pass more parameters, is the question mark the common seperator between all arguments/parameters passed? For example, would the following be correct format to use to pass multiple arguments:

BTW, thanks ever so much to you all for your help and patience.
Matt
Aha
The beginning of the parameters in $_GET are marked by a ? and the individual parameters are seperated by &s
So, http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p … er=unknown
Thanks. I think I might now have enough of a basic idea to be script dangerous. I should now be able to use trial and error to get my thoughts going down the right lines. Cheers once again.
Matt
Okay. Now I'm a really happy chappy. Thanks ever so much to you both for your help and advice. I've got a basic working setup. Thanks ever so much.
