Check this in your console. If you are using <code>onClick<\/code> it is best to keep JavaScript brief in here \u2014 write a JavaScript function, and call it from this event.<\/p>\n<p>Any PHP you have will be run when the page is served. Thus, your deletions will be done immediately, and not inside the JavaScript <code>if<\/code> statement as you want. You can achieve this in one of two ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set up a post method form to do a trip to the server, in which you do your file deletions<\/li>\n<li>Use an AJAX call to do a similar thing in the background. Libraries like jQuery will make this easy for you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lastly, it is unclear how you would want the <code>$file<\/code> to be populated. If this depend on the button you press on, you&#8217;ll need to read that in either of the above approaches, and then detect the name on the server side.<\/p>\n<p>As others have said, there is no substitute for sitting down for a good bit of study with a book or a video. It&#8217;s frustrating when you just want to make something, but you&#8217;ll find it a good time investment in the long term.
