Description

Delete a node.

Code

<?php
function node_delete($nid) {

  $node = node_load($nid);

  if (node_access('delete', $node)) {
    db_query('DELETE FROM {node} WHERE nid = %d', $node->nid);
    db_query('DELETE FROM {node_revisions} WHERE nid = %d', $node->nid);

    // Call the node-specific callback (if any):
    node_invoke($node, 'delete');
    node_invoke_nodeapi($node, 'delete');

    // Clear the page and block caches.
    cache_clear_all();

    // Remove this node from the search index if needed.
    // This code is implemented in node module rather than in search module,
    // because node module is implementing search module's API, not the other
    // way around.
    if (module_exists('search')) {
      search_wipe($node->nid, 'node');
    }
    watchdog('content', '@type: deleted %title.', array('@type' => $node->type, '%title' => $node->title));
    drupal_set_message(t('@type %title has been deleted.', array('@type' => node_get_types('name', $node), '%title' => $node->title)));
  }
