Re: [PHP] Recurs Directory Delete
So? Windows has this thing called the "del" command that does the same
thing as "rm".

If you want to delete EVERYTHING, an exec("rm -r $path") could
potentially be much more efficient.
You'd be trading the cost of opening up a mini-shell against PHP
iteration, so it would depend on the number of directories, but if
there are LOTS of files, the rm -r will probably win.

Thanks all for the help, I figured it out:

do you have the relevant permissions to unlink() the files in question?
try dumping/collecting some debugging infomation a bit like this
function does:
/* delete everything in the $dir */
function recursiveDelete($dir)
{
$msgs = array(
"\n"."\n".'deleting everthing in: '.$dir,
"\n".'---'
);
if ($handle = /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) {
if (($file == ".") || ($file == "..")) {
continue;
}
if (is_dir($dir.'/'.$file)) {
// call self for this directory
$msgs = array_merge($msgs, recursiveDelete($dir.'/'.$file));
$r = rmdir ($dir.'/'.$file);
$msgs[] = "\n".'deleting dir.: '.$dir.'/'.$file.($r?'
SUCCESSFUL':' FAILED');
}
else {
$r = unlink($dir.'/'.$file); // remove this file
$msgs[] = "\n".'deleting file: '.$dir.'/'.$file.($r?'
SUCCESSFUL':' FAILED');
}
}
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/closedir($handle);
return $msgs;
}
/* return an array of messages always - for the call array_merge() */
return array();

This works for me:
before delete");
echo ("");
print_r($file_array);
echo("");
foreach ($file_array as $value)
{
unlink("$path/$value");
}
}
else
{
echo (" nothing to delete");
}
?>
