note 98777 added to function.rmdir

You can empty a directory with 2 ways, for example if you want to empty "phpdir" you can do: <?php if(is_dir("phpdir")){ rmdir("phpdir"); mkdir("phpdir"); } ?> Or you can use this: <?php $dir = opendir("phpdir"); // get each entry while($entryName = readdir($dir)) { if(trim($entryName)=="." or trim($entryName)==".."){ continue; } unlink($entryName); } ?> Both codes empty an directory but i think first code is faster. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 188.158.66.211 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98777 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98777/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98777/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98777/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98777/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98777/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98777/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98777 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98777 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
