note 91974 added to function.rmdir

A security patch on previous deleteDirectory function, to prevent the function to follow links and erase unexpected files : <?php function deleteDirectory($dir) { if (!file_exists($dir)) return true; if (!is_dir($dir) || is_link($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: 84.102.208.186 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91974 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91974/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91974/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91974/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91974/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91974/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91974/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91974 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91974 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
