[lill87]

Is there some way using unlink or some other code to delete ALL files in the specified folder?

 

Thanks for your answers!

nope your have to delete each file then remove the directory

 

<?php
/**
* rm() -- Vigorously erase files and directories.
*
* @param $fileglob mixed If string, must be a file name (foo.txt), glob pattern (*.txt), or directory name.
*                        If array, must be an array of file names, glob patterns, or directories.
*/
function rm($fileglob)
{
    if (is_string($fileglob)) {
        if (is_file($fileglob)) {
            return unlink($fileglob);
        } else if (is_dir($fileglob)) {
            $ok = rm("$fileglob/*");
            if (! $ok) {
                return false;
            }
            return rmdir($fileglob);
        } else {
            $matching = glob($fileglob);
            if ($matching === false) {
                trigger_error(sprintf('No files match supplied glob %s', $fileglob), E_USER_WARNING);
                return false;
            }      
            $rcs = array_map('rm', $matching);
            if (in_array(false, $rcs)) {
                return false;
            }
        }      
    } else if (is_array($fileglob)) {
        $rcs = array_map('rm', $fileglob);
        if (in_array(false, $rcs)) {
            return false;
        }
    } else {
        trigger_error('Param #1 must be filename or glob pattern, or array of filenames or glob patterns', E_USER_ERROR);
        return false;
    }

    return true;
}
?>

I came up with my own little code

 

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users") or die("Error: Table does not exist!");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) 
{
$deletefirst = "players/".$row['username'].".php";

unlink($deletefirst);
}

 

So, Solved!
