note 91797 added to function.rmdir

Here's another version of the recursive directory removal. This version requires PHP 5, and returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. <?php function deleteDirectory($dir) { if (!file_exists($dir)) return true; if (!is_dir($dir)) return unlink($dir); foreach (scandir($dir) as $item) { if ($item == '.' || $item == '..') continue; if (!deleteDirectory($dir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$item)) return false; } return rmdir($dir); } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 209.159.189.12 (proxied: 127.0.0.1) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91797 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91797/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91797/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91797/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91797/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91797/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91797/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91797 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91797 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
