note 59036 added to function.rmdir

becouse all the examples fails if there are hiddenfiles (.filename) somewhere, I write this short and power function to erase a tree independtly from his content /** * rm() -- Very Vigorously erase files and directories. Also hidden files !!!! * * @param $dir string * be carefull to: * if($obj=='.' || $obj=='..') continue; * if not it will erase all the server...it happened to me ;) * the function is permission dependent. */ function rm($dir) { if(!$dh = @opendir($dir)) return; while (($obj = readdir($dh))) { if($obj=='.' || $obj=='..') continue; if (!@unlink($dir.'/'.$obj)) rm($dir.'/'.$obj); } @rmdir($dir); } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59036 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59036&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59036&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59036&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59036&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59036&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59036&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59036&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59036&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
