        </form>

My problem is too big. When I clicked delete button I expected it is delete one folder and one row from my mysql database but nooooo it is delete one folder and all row in mysql database in first page where I can see delete button. Where is the problem I can understood. Can somebody help me?

Answer 1

You’re calling delete_row() from within a loop that iterates over the resultset of SELECT ... FROM files WHERE username = '$userfile' restricted only by the LIMIT clause.

Whilst remove_directory() is also called repeatedly from within that loop, it is always called with the same argument: 'files/'.basename($_POST['dir']).
