Parameter $profile_vars

Notes

  • Security checks are high in this function, making it nearly impossible to abuse
  • Checks permissions again (prevents wise guys from trying to bypass deleteAccount when they can't delete accounts)
  • Checks the session as well to ensure you came from the deleteAccount form
  • Will not delete your own account if you didn't enter a password (ie if $post_errors isn't empty)
  • Determines whether to delete the user's topics and/or posts based on $_POST['remove_type']
