How do you delete the file? I have tried a few 'obvious' (obvious to
me, that is) methods, but they don't seem to work. I initially tried
going down the temporary file route, but my inability to find a way of
deleting the files was one reason why I abandoned it.

Sorry if my beginner's questions sound like that, but I have started
trying to teach myself php from a position of almost complete ignorance,
especially in the way servers work. My previous experience of using a
'server', if you can call it that, was programming in AlgolW under
Multics on an ICL System 4 mainframe in the 1970s; what little
programming I have done since then has been on desktop machines.

There are plenty of references to php on the Web, but using them to
learn a programming language is like trying to learn to drive a car by
reading detailed descriptions of the clutch pedal, the brake pedal and
the accelerator pedal.

I feet I needed to read through a selection of easy-to-follow examples
of how real programmers solve real (straightforward) problems in the
world of php - but as these don't seem to be available in any sort of
collected form, I have turned to this group for guidance.
