note 76088 added to function.unlink

I am using a recursive function to delete dir trees with files. Some of my files are quite big and take a bit of time to delete. I have the problem now that php's unlink() does not wait for the file to really be gone. So when after all the unlink()s I finally try to rmdir() then it can happen that I get an error because the dir is not empty. I tried a sleep() after the unlink() and my problems are gone. But I don't like this kind of sollution since it might break if the environment changes. Is there a way to know when the file is gone? ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 213.218.30.188 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76088 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76088/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76088/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76088/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76088/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76088/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76088/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76088 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76088 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
