    Help with Flat File Database Image Gallery

    I don't have a database available, so i'm writing an Image Gallery with
    a flat file database.

    I have an Add Page:
    Uploads Image file, and saves $filename and $caption to text file:
    captions.txt

    Captions.txt is in format:
    photofilename.j pg|caption to do with photo here.

    I can easily read out each individual part from the captions.txt file to
    display the photo and caption on a display page. I also have a delete
    file that unlinks the photo, using the info in the captions.txt file,
    but i can't figure out how to remove the entire line from the database
    file based on the filename...??? Basically I want to click on an image
    like this:
    <a href=delete.php ?filename=photo todelete.jpg> and have the delete.php
    file unlink the picture, and then erase the line in the text file, that
    begins with the filename (phototodelete. jpg).

    I guess i need to search through the data file and when i match the
    filename, erase the line... I'd appreciate any help with that!
    Cheers
