note 81152 added to function.rmdir

in case someone is still stuck on PHP4 server, you need to use this improvised function instead of "scandir" PHP5 built-in function: function scanEntireDir($dir) { $dh = opendir($dir); while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) { $files[] = $filename; } closedir($dh); return $files; } so this would work quite fine: function delTree($f) { if (is_dir($f)) { foreach($this->scanEntireDir($f) as $item){ if ( (!strcmp($item, '.')) OR (!strcmp($item, '..')) ) continue; delTree($f . "/" . $item); // recurision } rmdir($f); } else{ unlink($f); } // check if deleted? if (is_dir($f)) return false; else return true; } cheers! ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 77.105.61.199 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81152 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81152/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81152/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81152/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81152/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81152/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81152/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81152 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81152 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
