The comments on the PHP documentation page are very useful to read, they contains answers to many common questions.

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

<?php
 function rmdir_r($path) {
   if (!is_dir($path)) {return false;}
   $stack = Array($path);
   while ($dir = array_pop($stack)) {
     if (@rmdir($dir)) {continue;}
     $stack[] = $dir;
     $dh = opendir($dir);
     while (($child = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
       if ($child[0] == '.') {continue;}
       $child = $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $child;
       if (is_dir($child)) {$stack[] = $child;}
       else {unlink($child);}
     }
   }
   return true;
 }
 ?>

Code (markup):
