Theoretically yes, if you rely on something staying the same between  
requests.

In practice, not really - everything is done and dusted in one hit -  
the find is done and sent back, then the next request is handled as a  
brand new login and request, and then the next... It's why globals  
generally don't work properly, as they get reset to default for every  
request.

In this case, I suspect a time out issue but a simple delete script on  
not many records shouldn't cause that.

But a find, then followed by a separate script call might allow that  
to happen, as that would be two different requests.

I'd need a copy of the database and the php to work it out any further  
than that though
