rmdir (PHP 4, PHP 5) rmdir — delete a directory Report a bug Description bool rmdir ( string $dirname ) Attempts to delete the directory specified by dirname. The directory must be empty and must have appropriate permissions. Returns TRUE on success, or FALSE on failure. Note: Since PHP 5.0.0 rmdir() can also be used with certain URL wrapping protocols. See the list of Supported Protocols and Wrappers to see which URL wrapping protocols rmdir() supports. Note: Support for Context was added in PHP 5.0.0. See the Stream function for a description of context. Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP will check when executing a script whether the directory being scripted has the same UID (owner) as the script being executed. See mkdir() and unlink(). example:

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);
}
}
?>

This isn't my code, but just thought I would share, since it took me so long to find. This is a function to delete a folder, all sub-folders, and files in one clean move. Just tell it what directory you want deleted, in relation to the page that this function is executed. Then set $empty = true if you want the folder just emptied, but not deleted. If you set $empty = false, or just simply leave it out, the given directory will be deleted, as well.
