note 70909 added to function.rmdir

I installed Joomla CMS and the files where under apache user. So I couldn't delete from my SSH login. Your little function helped. But, you forgot about hidden files in Unix. Filenames beginning with a . are not returned in the glob list. So the modified code looks like this: <?php function removeDir($path) { // Add trailing slash to $path if one is not there if (substr($path, -1, 1) != "/") { $path .= "/"; } $normal_files = glob($path . "*"); $hidden_files = glob($path . "\.?*"); $all_files = array_merge($normal_files, $hidden_files); foreach ($all_files as $file) { # Skip pseudo links to current and parent dirs (./ and ../). if (preg_match("/(\.|\.\.)$/", $file)) { continue; } if (is_file($file) === TRUE) { // Remove each file in this Directory unlink($file); echo "Removed File: " . $file . "<br>"; } else if (is_dir($file) === TRUE) { // If this Directory contains a Subdirectory, run this Function on it removeDir($file); } } // Remove Directory once Files have been removed (If Exists) if (is_dir($path) === TRUE) { rmdir($path); echo "<br>Removed Directory: " . $path . "<br><br>"; } } #To remove a dir: removeDir('/home/fhlinux206/t/thuraisingham.net/tmp/'); ?> ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 80.229.6.18 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70909 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70909/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70909/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70909/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70909/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70909/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70909/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70909 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70909 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
