Here's a simple function to clean out a directory (only tested on a Linux box thus far... I
think you have to reverse the slash or something under Windows).
<?php
$exfiles=scandir($exdir);
foreach($exfiles as $exfile){
unlink($exdir . "/" . $exfile);
}
?>
If you don't have PHP 5 and therefore no scandir(), you can do this instead:
<?php
$exfiles=explode("\n", trim(shell_exec("ls " . $exdir)));
foreach($exfiles as $exfile){
unlink($exdir . "/" . $exfile);
}
?>
