note 81997 added to function.rmdir

To the poster on 03-Mar-2008 05:33, if the directory contains more than one file, your rmdir($f) will (silently) warn that the dir isn't empty. I think the following, although not quite as elegant, fixes the problem. <?php function deltree($f) { if (is_dir($f)) { foreach(glob($f.'/*') as $sf) { if (is_dir($sf) && !is_link($sf)) { deltree($sf); rmdir($sf); } else { unlink($sf); } } } rmdir($f); } ?> ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 71.112.214.5 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81997 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81997/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81997/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81997/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81997/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81997/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81997/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81997 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81997 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
