How can session variables be effectively used to target the correct user for deletion in a PHP script?

To effectively use session variables to target the correct user for deletion in a PHP script, you can store the user's ID in a session variable when they log in. Then, when deleting a user, you can check if the session variable containing the user's ID matches the ID of the user being deleted. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Assuming the user ID is stored in $_SESSION['user_id']
$userToDelete = 123; // ID of the user to delete

// Check if the user is logged in and has the correct permissions
if(isset($_SESSION['user_id']) && $_SESSION['user_id'] == $userToDelete) {
    // Delete the user
    // Perform deletion logic here
    echo "User with ID $userToDelete has been deleted.";
} else {
    echo "You do not have permission to delete this user.";
}
