note 72435 added to function.rmdir

This is my solution for removing directories: <?php /* Function to remove directories, even if they contain files or subdirectories. Returns array of removed/deleted items, or false if nothing was removed/deleted. by Justin Frim. 2007-01-18 Feel free to use this in your own code. */ function rmdirtree($dirname) { if (is_dir($dirname)) { //Operate on dirs only $result=array(); if (substr($dirname,-1)!='/') {$dirname.='/';} //Append slash if necessary $handle = opendir($dirname); while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file!='.' && $file!= '..') { //Ignore . and .. $path = $dirname.$file; if (is_dir($path)) { //Recurse if subdir, Delete if file $result=array_merge($result,rmdirtree($path)); }else{ unlink($path); $result[].=$path; } } } closedir($handle); rmdir($dirname); //Remove dir $result[].=$dirname; return $result; //Return array of deleted items }else{ return false; //Return false if attempting to operate on a file } } ?> ---- Server IP: 216.235.15.211 Probable Submitter: 64.7.136.101 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72435 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72435/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72435/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72435/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72435/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72435/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72435/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72435 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72435 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
