    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);
    }
    }
    $path="path/to/your/folder";
    rrmdir($path);

    If you want to remove directory using php then you have to use rmdir function to remove directory but remember first delete files you can use unlink command to remove file
