WARNING: The example using RecursiveIteratorIterator given in the note below is DANGEROUS! It doesn't guard against recursing into '..', and so the deletion will actually extend up into /path/to, /path, and then / and start deleting everything it can get access to. To guard against this, you need to check $dir->isDot() first, and do nothing if true. (Fortunately, I happened to notice this before running it.) ---- Server IP: 87.124.126.117 Probable Submitter: 87.194.204.254 (proxied: 87.194.204.254) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100709 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100709/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100709/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100709/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100709/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100709/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100709/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100709 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100709 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
