Remove Files

Is there a function in PHP which will clear out all the files in a specified folder?

If there is no global solution I will use ftp_delete($conn_id, $file)

I'm looking for a function which will clear out a folder daily with a CRON job.

 

You should parse the dir with opendir() and delete files with unlink()

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

This is the solution I went with;

<?php

// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect('ftp.domain.com');

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, '<username>', '<password>');


$folder = '/public_html/directory/';

$contents = ftp_nlist($conn_id,$folder);
for($i=2;$i<count($contents);$i++){
	ftp_delete($conn_id,$folder . $contents[$i]);
}
// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
