If you want to delete a folder with its all content and sub-content you can use this
recursive-working function
(WARNING: after using the function the folder is completely deleted!):
<?php
function delDir($dirName) {
if(empty($dirName)) {
return;
}
if(file_exists($dirName)) {
$dir = dir($dirName);
while($file = $dir->read()) {
if($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
if(is_dir($dirName.'/'.$file)) {
delDir($dirName.'/'.$file);
} else {
@unlink($dirName.'/'.$file) or die('File
'.$dirName.'/'.$file.' couldn\'t be deleted!');
}
}
}
@rmdir($dirName.'/'.$file) or die('Folder
'.$dirName.'/'.$file.' couldn\'t be deleted!');
} else {
echo 'Folder "<b>'.$dirName.'</b>" doesn\'t
exist.';
}
}
?>
