note 59599 added to function.opendir

I wrote a function to recursively delete files from a starting directory. I had to do this because my server doesn't allow me to delete files that apache writes because I don't have permissions, so... I let apache do the work. <?php $dir = "/path/to/base/dir"; recursive_delete($dir); function recursive_delete( $dir ) { if (is_dir($dir)) { if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false ) { if( $file != "." && $file != ".." ) { if( is_dir( $dir . $file ) ) { echo "Entering Directory: $dir$file<br/>"; recursive_delete( $dir . $file . "/" ); echo "Removing Directory: $dir$file<br/><br/>"; rmdir( $dir . $file ); } else { echo "Deleting file: $dir$file<br/>"; unlink( $dir . $file ); } } } closedir($dh); } } } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.opendir.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59599 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59599&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59599&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59599&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59599&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59599&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59599&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59599&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59599&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
