note 83126 added to function.rmdir

I don't know why, but the glob() function seems to take some time to release file handles. The consequence is some annoying permission denied on random files. Using opendir() instead of glob() fixes the problem. <?php function rm_recursive($filepath) { if (is_dir($filepath) && !is_link($filepath)) { if ($dh = opendir($filepath)) { while (($sf = readdir($dh)) !== false) { if ($sf == '.' || $sf == '..') { continue; } if (!rm_recursive($filepath.'/'.$sf)) { throw new Exception($filepath.'/'.$sf.' could not be deleted.'); } } closedir($dh); } return rmdir($filepath); } return unlink($filepath); } ?> Please note that opendir() method is faster than the glob() method. ---- Server IP: 217.174.223.124 Probable Submitter: 82.230.82.47 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83126 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83126/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83126/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83126/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83126/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83126/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83126/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83126 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83126 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
