note 82764 deleted from function.rmdir by aidan

Note Submitter: Isaac Z dot Schlueter i at foohack dot com ---- This function builds on the suggestion by davedx, but doesn't keep going on failure. It also doesn't remove dot-files, since those usually should be deleted explicitly. <?php /** * rm_recurse * @description Remove recursively. (Like rm -r) * @see Comment by davedx at gmail dot com on { http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php } * @param file {String} The file or folder to be deleted. **/ function rm_recurse($file) { if (is_dir($file) && !is_link($file)) { foreach(glob($file.'/*') as $sf) { if ( !rm_recurse($sf) ) { error_log("Failed to remove $sf\n"); return false; } } return rmdir($file); } else { return unlink($file); } } ?>
