note 88904 deleted from function.rmdir by danbrown

Note Submitter: Chris ---- DON'T USE zeke1's FUNCTION ON A WINDOWS SERVER WITHOUT FIRST IMPLEMENTING DIRECTORY CHECKING I learned the hard way that if you don't check to see that the path you're deleting is valid, the script start crawling all over you server deleting stuff. I lost a bunch of stuff on my development machine, mostly things under C:\Documents and Settings\<my account> <?php function rmdir_recurse($path) { if(is_dir($path)) { $path = rtrim($path, '/').'/'; $handle = opendir($path); while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if($file != '.' and $file != '..' ) { $fullpath = $path.$file; if(is_dir($fullpath)) rmdir_recurse($fullpath); else unlink($fullpath); } } closedir($handle); rmdir($path); } } ?>
