I'm new to programming.
So far I have this bit:
        if (!$error)
        {
            $char = new rs_character($name, $cache);
           
            $timer = microtime_float();
            $error = !$char->load(false);
            $timer = microtime_float() - $timer;
            $total_time += $timer;
        }

Now how can I add this line into this bit? If error arises I need to delete the entry from thedatabase
$highscores->remove($name)
