Is there a way, so that:

User is on page "home.php".

He clicks on a link, and then PHP deletes the link code from the page.

How?

PHP is a server side language so there is no way to do that without submitting the home.php page back to the server. Maybe JavaScript could do what you want, but really why are you trying to delete the code behind a link? If this is a security thing, then you should really look into other alternatives. If you don't want someone to be able to open a certain page, then you should protect that page. Don't assume that you can keep your links hidden from users, or search engines for that matter. Inevitably someone will post a link to the page that you will have no ability to delete (i.e. on a different server that you don't own).

Yes, I'd like it to be submitted back to the page. This is not a security thing, it's just deleting the link to a subject in the Private Messaging script I'm working on. I already know how to delete the actual file.

Set the text link to a variable when the page is loaded. Then when you don't want the link to show up, set the variable to nothing, or don't set it all.

if ($show_link==TRUE) { $link = "<A HREF=''>Blah</Blah>"; }
else $link = "";

Then you just print the value of $link. If it's been set, it'll show up. Otherwise it won't.
