I'm not understanding the logic in all the loops and such here. And why comparing the 
first 5 characters?  That seems kind of dangerous.

Why don't you pass the name of the main file ($file = "image1.jpg" for example) then:

1. unlink $file in images
2. unlink $file in big
3. unlink $file . ".txt" in big

I don't follow the logic of looping through the files in a folder unless you might 
have other files associated with the image+thumbnail+descriptionfile that you can't 
anticipate.  In which case, I wouldn't check the first 5 characters, I'd check:

If (Mid($FileInDir,0,strlen($FileToDelete)) = $FileToDelete) unlink($FileInDir);


Then you're checking the full "image1.jpg" and not "image" (first 5 characters... What 
happens if you have an "image2.jpg", does it and it's associated thumbnail and 
description files get deleted too?)


I only gave this script a cursory look-over, so forgive me if I missed something, but 
by the comments and the quick glance of the code, I'm assuming that I understand 
what's going on.
