Please note that unlink on an empty directory will fail with a warning - the example given above doesn't work for the directory at least: <?php //testing unlink with dirs. mkdir( 'emptydir', 0777 ); unlink( 'emptydir' ); ?> The above fails with this: "PHP Warning: unlink(emptydir): Is a directory in /root/temp.php on line 5" Use rmdir() on an empty directory as it works without fail or warnings. ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 142.104.60.167 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91038 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91038/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91038/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91038/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91038/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91038/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91038/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91038 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91038 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
