Thanks for that compact recursive delete function. Note that it does not delete the directory
initially passed to it. rmdir it afterwards or modify the function like this:
<?php
function rmdir_recurse($path) {
$path= rtrim($path, '/').'/';
$handle = opendir($path);
for (;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);
}
?>
