note 56213 added to function.rmdir

Don't worry about how to delete a folder... and don't try anymore to snif through sub-folders... This is THE TERRIBLE function!!: - under UNIX: $folder_to_delete = escapeshellarg($my_online_folder); exec("rm -rf $folder_to_delete"); - under WINDOWS: $folder_to_delete = escapeshellarg($my_online_folder); exec("rmdir /s /q $folder_to_delete"); That's ALL!! So, that means that from within one function, you must check the platform (unix or windows) by just using a global variable only known by Windows: $WINDIR . example: function sendFolderInHell($my_online_folder){ $folder_to_delete = escapeshellarg($my_online_folder); if(!isset($WINDIR)){ exec("rm -rf $folder_to_delete"); }else{ exec("rmdir /s /q $folder_to_delete"); } } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56213 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56213&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56213&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56213&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56213&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56213&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56213&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56213&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
