note 50531 added to function.ftp-rmdir

Following the function listed below by "Sommerkorn at twt dot de" on a linux system resulted in an infinite loop when I tested it, as the first entry in any folder listing is always "." (current folder). I have modified the function to skip the current and parent folders ("." and ".."): <?php function ftp_rmAll($conn_id,$dst_dir) { $ar_files = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, $dst_dir); if (is_array($ar_files)) { // makes sure there are files foreach ($ar_files as $st_file) { // for each file if (ereg("([-d][rwxst-]+).* ([0-9]) ([a-zA-Z0-9]+).* ([a-zA-Z0-9]+).* ([0-9]*) ([a-zA-Z]+[0-9: ]*[0-9]) ([0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}) (.+)",$st_file,$regs)) { // ADDITION TO SKIP CURRENT AND PARRENT FOLDERS if (($regs[8] == ".") || ($regs[8] == "..")) { continue; } if (substr($regs[1],0,1)=="d") { // check if it is a directory ftp_rmAll($conn_id, $dst_dir."/".$regs[8]); // if so, use recursion } else { ftp_delete($conn_id, $dst_dir."/".$regs[8]); // if not, delete the file } } } } ftp_rmdir($conn_id, $dst_dir); // delete empty directories } ?> Otherwise, good work everyone. I found this function very useful. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-rmdir.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50531 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50531&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50531&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50531&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50531&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50531&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50531&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
