file and folder delete from form

[iantearle]

I have been trying to work out an argument for ages, but cannot get this to work, I am new to PHP so need anyones help!!!

I am sending file and folder names from a form to a script which will delete the matching file or folder the action im using is;

<? rmdir($_GET["foldername"]); ?>

<? unlink($_GET["foldername"]); ?>

where foldername is from the form im submitting. i want to be able to submit the name of either file / folder from the same form, and have the PHP delete either without handing out an error message.

Please help, i have tried various ways including function rm($fileglob) but to no avail.
