rmdir only works if the directory is already empty.
If you want to delete a directory with all its subdirectories and files you can simply use a unix
shell command, put an backticks:
<?
rm -r /My_eGallery/gallery;
?>
This will delete the directory gallery and all its subdirectories and files.
BE CAREFUL WITH THE DIRECTORY! IF YOU WRITE A WRONG PATH ALL DATA WITHIN WILL BE DELETED!!!
