PHP: delete directory with files in it?

I am working with an site where I have to store four images of different formats by creating a directory in an specified folder. I have created the directory and inserted the images into it. Now my problem is I am unable to delete the directory with all the images.

Suppose I have,

$path = "offer_pic/";

$directory = $r2['shop_name'];

$realpath=$path.$directory.'/';

How do I delete all of the images inside $realpath, as well as the directory itself ($directory)?

This will do it, just be careful you don’t delete the whole server:

$dir='your/directory';
exec('rm -rf '.escapeshellarg($dir));
