Question

I have a delete.php in folder abc so I call localhost/abc/delete.php. I want to be able to delete abc folder and all its contents from server when I call localhost/abc/delete.php. How to do such thing?

Answer 1

This function deletes a directory with
all of it’s content. Second parameter
is boolean to instruct the function if
it should remove the directory or only
the content

    function rmdir_r ( $dir, $DeleteMe = TRUE )
    {
        if ( ! $dh = @opendir ( $dir ) ) return;
        while ( false !== ( $obj = readdir ( $dh ) ) )
    {
    if ( $obj == '.' || $obj == '..') continue;
    if ( ! @unlink ( $dir . '/' . $obj ) ) rmdir_r ( $dir . '/' . $obj, true );
        }

    closedir ( $dh );
    if ( $DeleteMe )
        {
            @rmdir ( $dir );
        }
    }
//use like this:

rmdir_r( 'abc' );
