The function delTree is dangerous when you dont take really care. I for example always deleted a temporary directory with it. Everthing went fine until the moment where the var containing this temporary directory wasnt set. The var didnt contain the path but an empty string. The function delTree was called and deleted all the files at my host! So dont use this function when you dont have a proper handling coded. Dont think about using this function only for testing without such a handling. Luckily nothing is lost because I had the local copy... ---- Server IP: 217.160.235.204 Probable Submitter: 77.21.203.38 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97618 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97618/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97618/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97618/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97618/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97618/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97618/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97618 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97618 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
