Delete user form

Question

Hello again,

I'm trying to create a form for a "delete user" action. I want to delete user entries in all relevant tables and delete the profile picture. So I tried a custom code (in PHP tags):

mysql_query("DELETE FROM kwm_users WHERE id = ". $form->data['id'] ."");
mysql_query("DELETE FROM kwm_arrange2drive WHERE user_id = ". $form->data['id'] ."");
mysql_query("DELETE FROM kwm_a2d_user WHERE user_id = ". $form->data['id'] ."");
mysql_query("DELETE FROM kwm_a2d_drivealert WHERE user_id = ". $form->data['id'] ."");
mysql_query("DELETE FROM kwm_car_offers WHERE user_id = ". $form->data['id'] ."");
mysql_query("DELETE FROM kwm_gadgets WHERE user_id = ". $form->data['id'] ."");
mysql_query("DELETE FROM kwm_contact_details WHERE name = ". $form->data['name'] ."");
  unlink( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/mobil3/components/com_arrange2drive/media/users/{$form->data['avatar']}" );

Well, it doesn't work... Do I have to connect to the DB in the custom code? I have a DB read action in the onload event...

Moreover, I want the user to be logged out after deleting his profile. How can I achieve that?

Thanks in advance.

Oh sorry, I meant the user should be logged out after "clicking the button". I looked up how to log out myself.
Thanks for your help, it works now. Here's the code (think it could be done better with array and a loop, but it's fine like this).

<?php
$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication();
$userid = $form->data['id'];
$name = $form->data['name'];
$avatar = $form->data['avatar'];
$mainframe->login($userid);

$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$query = "DELETE FROM `#__users` WHERE `id` = '$userid';";
$db->setQuery($query);
$db->execute();

$query = "DELETE FROM `#__a2d_user` WHERE `user_id` = '$userid';";
$db->setQuery($query);
$db->execute();

$query = "DELETE FROM `#__a2d_arrange2drive` WHERE `user_id` = '$userid';";
$db->setQuery($query);
$db->execute();

$query = "DELETE FROM `#__a2d_drivealert` WHERE `user_id` = '$userid';";
$db->setQuery($query);
$db->execute();

$query = "DELETE FROM `#__car_offers` WHERE `user_id` = '$userid';";
$db->setQuery($query);
$db->execute();

$query = "DELETE FROM `#__gadgets` WHERE `user_id` = '$userid';";
$db->setQuery($query);
$db->execute();

$query = "DELETE FROM `#__contact_details` WHERE `name` = '$name';";
$db->setQuery($query);
$db->execute();

  unlink( JPATH_SITE."/components/com_arrange2drive/media/users/{$form->data['avatar']}" );
?>

Thanks,
Christian
