delete directories

[Woodburn2006]

is it possible to delete directories using php?

[shocker-z]

unlink($folder); or rmdir($folder);

should do the trick :)

thanks, is there anyway of checking to see if the folder has contents? because if there are no contents i want to delete it but if there are then i want to leave it

[shocker-z]

found this:
[code]// returns true if folder is empty or not existing
// false if folde is full

function is_empty_folder($dir) {
if (is_dir($dir)) {
  $dl=opendir($dir);
  if ($dl) {
      while($name = readdir($dl)) {
  if (!is_dir("$dir/$name")) { //<--- corrected here
      return false;
      break;
      }
  }
      closedir($dl);
      }
  return true;
  } else return true;
}
[/code]
