I wrote a function to recursively delete files from a starting directory. I had to do this because my server doesn't allow me to delete files that apache writes because I don't have permissions, so... I let apache do the work.
<?php
$dir = "/path/to/base/dir";
recursive_delete($dir);
function recursive_delete( $dir )
{
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false ) {
if( $file != "." && $file != ".." )
{
if( is_dir( $dir . $file ) )
{
echo "Entering Directory: $dir$file<br/>";
recursive_delete( $dir . $file . "/" );
echo "Removing Directory: $dir$file<br/><br/>";
rmdir( $dir . $file );
}
else
{
echo "Deleting file: $dir$file<br/>";
unlink( $dir . $file );
}
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
}
?>
