$path = "uploads";

if(isset($_POST['file']) && is_array($_POST['file']))
{
	foreach($_POST['file'] as $file)
	{	
		unlink($path . "/" . $file) or die("Failed to <strong class='highlight'>delete</strong> file");
	}
	header("location: " . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); //redirect after deleting files so the user can refresh without that resending post info message
}
?>
<form name="form1" method="post">
<?php

$path = "uploads";
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open folder");

while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) 
{

if($file == "index.php")
continue;
if($file == ".")
continue;
if($file == "..")

{
    if (substr($directory, -1) == 'uploads/') {
        $directory = substr($directory, 0, -1);
    }
    $html = '';
    if (
        is_readable($directory)
        && (file_exists($directory) || is_dir($directory))
    ) {
        $directoryList = opendir($directory);
        while($file = readdir($directoryList)) {
            if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
                $path = $directory . '/' . $file;
                if (is_readable($path)) {
                    if (is_dir($path)) {
