note 61409 added to function.rmdir

I have programmed a really nice program that remotely lets you manage files as if you have direct access to them (http://sourceforge.net/projects/filemanage/). I have a bunch of really handy functions to do just about anything to files or directories. In it I use this directory delete function. Here is the function I made; it will likely need tweaking to work as a standalone script, since it relies of variables set by my program (eg: loc1 -- which dynamically changes in my program): <?PHP // loc1 is the path on the computer to the base directory that may be moved define('loc1', 'C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs', true); // use this format: $dir = '[reletive path]'; if(remdir($dir)) rmdir($dir); else echo 'There was an error.'; // this function deletes all files and sub directories directories in a directory // bool remdir( str 'directory path' ) function remdir($dir){ if(!isset($GLOBALS['remerror'])) $GLOBALS['remerror'] = false; if($handle = opendir(loc1 . $dir)){ // if the folder exploration is sucsessful, continue while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){ // as long as storing the next file to $file is successful, continue $path = $dir . '/' . $file; if(is_file(loc1 . $path)){ if(!unlink(loc1 . $path)){ echo '<u><font color="red">"' . $path . '" could not be deleted. This may be due to a permissions problem.</u><br>Directory cannot be deleted until all files are deleted.</font><br>'; $GLOBALS['remerror'] = true; return false; } } else if(is_dir(loc1 . $path) && substr($file, 0, 1) != '.'){ remdir($path); @rmdir(loc1 . $path); } } closedir($handle); // close the folder exploration } if(!$GLOBALS['remerror']) // if no errors occured, delete the now empty directory. if(!rmdir(loc1 . $dir)){ echo '<b><font color="red">Could not remove directory "' . $dir . '". This may be due to a permissions problem.</font></b><br>'; return false; } else return true; return false; } // end of remdir() ?> This new function will be in 0.9.7 (the current release of File Manage) which was just released. Hope this helps some people. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 67.181.154.141 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61409 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61409&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61409&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61409&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61409&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61409&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61409&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61409&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61409&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
