How to recursive delete files and directories with PHP
This is an example how you could recursive delete directories with PHP.
Keep in mind that you ALWAYS define a root where this function should do its action.
This can seriously remove all your files.
define('UPLOADFILES', dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/uploadfiles'); function recursiveDelete($path) { if (strpos($path, UPLOADFILES) === false) { exit('Trying to remove from wrong path to uploadfiles!'); } if (is_file($path)) { return unlink($path); } elseif ( is_dir($path) ){ $objects = scandir($path); foreach ($objects as $object) { if($object != '.' && $object != '..'){ recursiveDelete($path . '/' . $object); } } reset($objects); return rmdir($path); } }
