How do I recursively delete a directory and its entire contents (files+sub dirs) in PHP?

I need to recursively delete a directory and subdirectories that aren’t empty. I can’t find any useful class or function to solve this problem.

In advance thanks for your answers.

From the first comment in the official documentation.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php

<?php

 // When the directory is not empty:
 function rrmdir($dir) {
   if (is_dir($dir)) {
     $objects = scandir($dir);
     foreach ($objects as $object) {
       if ($object != "." && $object != "..") {
         if (filetype($dir."/".$object) == "dir") rrmdir($dir."/".$object); else unlink($dir."/".$object);
       }
     }
     reset($objects);
     rmdir($dir);
   }
 }

?>

Edited rmdir to rrmdir to correct typo from obvious intent to create recursive function.
