PHP 4.1.2 is missing for a good delete folders function, that's why there's a lot of post here :p... Here's my function that removes a directory (empty OR NOT EMPTY) on any Platform (Windows or Unix/Linux based). Enjoy! function rmdir2($Path) { if (substr_count($SystemDrive,":")) {system("rmdir/S/Q \"".$Path."\"");} else {system("rm -r ".$Path);} } Remark: add "@" before the system function so you won't get any error display: @system -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+21742 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+21742 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+21742
