note 96514 added to function.readdir

Derived from ianatvirante.com's example. this script removes a file from a folder AND its subfolders. Just in case somebody finds it useful. Here is the code: <?php //define the path as relative $path = "path to parent folder"; $my_file = "name of file to be deleted"; //using the opendir function $dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path"); echo "Delete all $my_file files from folder $path & subfolders<br/>"; list_dir($dir_handle,$path,$my_file); function list_dir($dir_handle,$path,$my_file) { // print_r ($dir_handle); echo "<ol>"; //running the while loop while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) { $dir =$path.'/'.$file; if(is_dir($dir) && $file != '.' && $file !='..' ) { $handle = @opendir($dir) or die("undable to open file $file"); echo '<li><a href=' . $path . '/' . $file . '>' .$file . '</a></li>'; list_dir($handle, $dir, $my_file); }elseif($file != '.' && $file !='..') { echo '<li><a href=' . $path . '/' . $file . '>' .$file . '</a></li>'; if ($file == $my_file){ unlink($path.'/'.$file); echo $path.'/'.$file. ' deleted.<br/>'; } } } echo "</ol>"; //closing the directory closedir($dir_handle); } ?> ---- Server IP: 80.64.47.13 Probable Submitter: 95.214.47.0 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96514 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96514/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96514/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96514/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96514/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96514/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96514/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96514 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96514 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
