note 66009 added to function.rmdir

this will only work in php5 (scandir). feed this function the path to a directory (INCLUDE TRAILING /) and it'll clean it of all contents (if it contains a directory with more stuff it'll dive down and clean that out). use with care! remove_directory('/path/to/crap/for/deletion/'); function remove_directory($dir) { $dir_contents = scandir($dir); foreach ($dir_contents as $item) { if (is_dir($dir.$item) && $item != '.' && $item != '..') { remove_directory($dir.$item.'/'); } elseif (file_exists($dir.$item) && $item != '.' && $item != '..') { unlink($dir.$item); } } rmdir($dir); } ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 72.194.110.250 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/66009 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66009/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66009/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66009/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66009/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66009/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66009/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66009 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/66009 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
