note 77240 added to function.readdir

The following code is a bit nasty, it can be used to remove all files generated by apache. You're not a root user on a system, but you sometimes need to remove all files generated by apache in a certain directory. You may use this after replacing 'bbs' at the bottom with 'directory' you want. It tries to remove all files in a directory, but it can't unless it has an ownership. it doesn't check the ownership or permission. <?php function remove($dirname = '.') { if (is_dir($dirname)) { echo "$dirname is a directory.<br />"; if ($handle = @opendir($dirname)) { while (($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) { if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { echo "$file<br />"; $fullpath = $dirname . '/' . $file; if (is_dir($fullpath)) { remove($fullpath); @rmdir($fullpath); } else { @unlink($fullpath); } } } closedir($handle); } } } remove('bbs'); ?> ---- Server IP: 211.43.210.124 Probable Submitter: 203.253.22.113 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77240 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77240/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77240/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77240/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77240/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77240/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77240/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77240 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77240 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
