Any way to unfriend or delete a friend using Facebook's PHP SDK or API?

I want to be able to authenticate the user, list out all their friends and give them the ability to unfriend / remove some of those friends with without going through the process on the Facebook.com website.

Is this possible via the API?

What you can do its create a popup to m.facebook/userid for each friend.

When the user clicks on a friend the popup opens and there they can unfriend that person, that is a few clicks and its totally allowed by facebook.

<a href="http://m.facebook.com/userid" 
         onClick="window.open(this.href, this.target, 'width=500,height=600'); 
         return false;">
Friend Name</a>

Currently no way to remove friends programmatically but fb's mobile design can be easily manipulated by a php spider.

There is no API available to add or remove friends programmatically.

What is available is a dialog box your app can use to help users send friend requests, but this still requires direct user interaction
