The PHP4 version below can not delete subfolders, just files. Here is a complete PHP4/5 recursive
folder/subfolder delete function:
<?php
function deltree($path) {
if (is_dir($path)) {
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.0.0') < 0) {
$entries = array();
if ($handle = opendir($path)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) $entries[] = $file;
closedir($handle);
}
} else {
$entries = scandir($path);
if ($entries === false) $entries = array(); // just in case scandir fail...
}
foreach ($entries as $entry) {
if ($entry != '.' && $entry != '..') {
deltree($path.'/'.$entry);
}
}
return rmdir($path);
} else {
return unlink($path);
}
}
?>
Thanks to the two codes below for the jump start on this one.
