Delete web account

I am creating a page where the user can choose to delete their entire user account.

The page first shows a summary of what will be deleted. When the user presses the delete button, a warning will appear in a "deleteBox" as usual. And when the user confirms this, the idea is that all data that the user has added to the database is deleted.

To do this, I think I have to:
#1, create multiple record sets that are linked to each table ID and filtered on SESSION ['SecurityAssist_UserID'].
#2, create the same number of hidden input fields, which are connected to each recordset.
#3, create delete record associated with each hidden input.

Since one of the tables contains data about uploaded images, I also have to use the "Delete File" function.

I have created this, but what happens is that only the first record from each recordset is deleted. I guess I need to create a repeat function, but how do I do this?

Usually you can set up the delete record server behavior to be based on the users ID and not use a separate recordset at all. The delete record server behavior will delete multiple records if you use a key that isn't unique like the userID.

So for instance... your first delete wouldn't be:
$DeleteQuery->Table = "bucGrade";
$DeleteQuery->addFilter("gra_ID", "=", "i", "".((isset($_POST["WADADeleteMygradesID"]))?$_POST["WADADeleteMygradesID"]:"") ."");

it would be:
$DeleteQuery->Table = "bucGrade";
$DeleteQuery->addFilter("gra_userID", "=", "i", "".($_SESSION['SecurityAssist_UserID']) ."");

Then you don't need any recordsets or hidden fields at all.

Nice, it works now. All user data is deleted from all tables as you describe. Thanks!
But what do I do with images uploaded by the user. I want them to be deleted as well. When the images are uploaded, they are named as follows: bucID + userID, for example "buc-11_user-2.jpg". They are placed in two folders. One high resolution and one low resolution.

When I'm doing user specific files, I usually save them in a user specific folder, so they are easy to delete. In your case, you would probably want to use a recordset and loop through it deleting the images before deleting from the table.

I have already done this recordset:
<?php
$rsDeleteMyimages = new WA_MySQLi_RS("rsDeleteMyimages",$bucketlistDB,0);
$rsDeleteMyimages->setQuery("SELECT bucImages.* FROM bucImages WHERE bucImages.ima_usrID = ?");
$rsDeleteMyimages->bindParam("i", "".$_SESSION['SecurityAssist_UserID'] ."", "-1"); //WAQB_Param1
$rsDeleteMyimages->execute();?>
But I don't know how to loop it?

Put a repeat region on the page for the recordset for all records... then just copy and paste it around the delete file code instead.
