note 78610 added to function.rmdir

For anybody who caches their directory listing ahead of time in an array and wants to recursively clear out without using opendir and readdir during the delete, you might encounter "directory not empty" errors even when the directories really are empty because PHP leaves the last directory opened with opendir open until the end of the script (or you call closedir). To get around this problem, you should either use closedir every time you are done with a directory, or if you cannot fix the code that opens the directory yourself, you can add a closedir(opendir($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"])); before your recursive delete. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 63.231.56.43 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78610 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78610/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78610/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78610/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78610/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78610/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78610/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78610 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78610 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
