I guess you'll first have to delete all files in the directory. Try this
function:
/**
* Recursively clear a local directory
*
* @param string $sourceDir directory to delete
* @param integer $level directory level (to avoid deleting the
root dir)
*/
function clearDirectory($sourceDir, $level = 0)
{
// proceed if source directory exists
if (is_dir($sourceDir))
{
// read dir contents
if ($handle = opendir($sourceDir))
{
/* This is the correct way to loop over the
directory. */
while(false !== ($dirItem = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($dirItem != '.' && $dirItem !=
'..')
{
// directory
if (is_dir($sourceDir . '/'
. $dirItem))
{
clearDirectory($sourceDir . '/' . $dirItem, $level + 1);
}
// file
elseif (file_exists($sourceDir
. '/' . $dirItem))
{
unlink($sourceDir .
'/' . $dirItem);
}
}
}
// remove directory if it's not the root one
if ($level > 0)
{
rmdir($sourceDir);
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
}
It will delete all direcotries and files *inside* the specified directory.
So the directory itself will not be deleted.
Just call it like this (without trailing shlash!!!):
clearDirectory('/path/to/directory');
Hope it works for you.
