删除非空目录

Question

rmdir("./uploads/temp/".$user."/");

I have many files in a directory I wish to remove in my PHP script, however these is no way for me to unlink() the file first. Is there a way I co do

unlink(* FROM (dir=)) // don't downvote the long shot
// delete all files from the dir first
// then delete that dir 

Reference a directory has to be empty in order to delete it, see php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php

Answer 1

There is no other way except to delete all files first using one way or another and then remove directory.

public static function deleteDir($dirPath) {
if (! is_dir($dirPath)) {
    throw new InvalidArgumentException('$dirPath must be a directory');
}
if (substr($dirPath, strlen($dirPath) - 1, 1) != '/') {
    $dirPath .= '/';
}
$files = glob($dirPath . '*', GLOB_MARK);
foreach ($files as $file) {
    if (is_dir($file)) {
        self::deleteDir($file);
    } else {
        unlink($file);
    }
}
rmdir($dirPath);
}
