php search subdirectories and delete files

[matt121400]

Hello so somehow their are a ton of random phpfiles with numbers behind them then were created when replacing files that look like this test.php1323434435 and i am looking to delete them.  I have created this which works for deleting them when its in the same folder

 

<?php

$files = glob('test.php1*');

array_map('unlink', $files);

?>

 

my question is how do i get it to search all the subdirectories and do the same thing

You can loop through the files and search for the folders with is_dir()

Of course, this depends on how many levels of folders we're talking about.

 

if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if(is_dir($file)){
             // found a folder, do something with it
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}

Honestly PHP isn't the most efficient tool to do this with. If it's only a small amount of files, sure. Otherwise use the python command line, with a regex expression or something.
