Hi,
You can use the backtick operator to delete whatever you have
permissions to delete:
$directory = "path/*.*";
`rm -rf $directory`;
They aren't quotes, they are backticks (to the left of the 1 key on most
keyboards). It is very useful for any command line stuff you have
permissions to do.

That will usually work on Unix but will not work on Windows. Rather than
executing an external program you can use PHP itself to do a recursive
delete.
There are examples at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php if
you read the user notes you will see several posts about doing this.

running a shell, it can't be expanded and the raw unlink call to *.* fails because
the unlink function doesn't understand wildcards. If you

function force_rmdirs($dir) {
$dh = opendir($dir);
while(false !== ($file = readdir($dh))) {
Ok, Jason, here's another one!
I think I've read how to delete a file.
I need to delete 25 files, then do a rmdir(blah);
Line 16: $directory = "path/*.*";
