Is it possible to run a function every time a post is deleted. The function has to be run when the post is deleted from the admin or by the wp_delete_post() function.

Yes, by adding an action to the before_delete_post, delete_post, or deleted_post actions.

I was wondering how i could get the post id of the post being deleted. additionally, would this still work if multiple posts are deleted? – shammer Jan 8 '12 at 9:01

@shammer the post id is passed to your function, see the code sample on the delete_post page above. not sure how it behaves when multiple posts are deleted, I assume the action is triggered multiple times. – Milo Jan 8 '12 at 16:28
