Re: unlink() & rmdir() ... Problems.

The reason this works is because you are doing a recursive remove of the directory. The PHP rmdir() does not remove a directory with contents in it. If you modify your script so that it walks the users directory and removes each file and subdirectory then it would probally have worked correctly. I would have mentioned this earlier but I have been away from email for the past day or so. -William On Tue, 24 Aug 2004 14:32:43 -0400, PHP Junkie <phpjunkie@mjimm.com> wrote: > Ave, > > IT WORKS!!! > I guess it was the syntax which was the problem!
