How can I delelte a tree directory structure with php4

How can I delelte a tree directory structure with php4?
I can have any number of directories with any number of files inside.


Thanks a lot for the answers

 

You would use the unlink() command:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php

You would need to build a loop structure to enter each directory and delete the files within it.

I believe there is a sample function there in the annotations that will do it. I did not check it for accuracy.

 

function empty_directory($dir_name){
      $directory_content = glob ("$dir_name/*",  GLOB_BRACE);
      foreach($directory_content as $item_name){
            if(is_file($item_name)){ unlink($item_name);}
            if(is_dir($item_name)){ empty_directory($item_name);}
      }
      return;
}

//Empty deleteme directory
empty_directory('deleteme');

PHP:

This should do.

Peace,

 

Thanks a lot

 

If you want to delete a tree, and a tree - is an array, then you would need to unset every item of an array in cycle, like:

foreach ( $array as $i => $item )
  unset ($array[$i]);
