cant delete any directories with php

[blueman378]

ok heres whats happening i have tried 8 completly different scripts to either delete or move the directory however they all do the exact same thing...

that is they all do absolutly nothing

 

i am getting no errors what so ever but it doesnt affect the directory at all

 

the latest script is simply moving it maybe you can help.

 

$file = '/home/vol2/byethost13.com/b13_1013561/mydoodle.byethost13.com/htdocs/users/.$subuser';

if (is_dir("$file"))
{
rename ("$file", "../../delete/$file") or die ("Could not move directory");}

 

do you see anything wrong?

i'm not sure if you are looking for a solution or if you want to do it yourself, if you want to do it yourself here's the url to get you started down the right road:

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php

 

if you are looking for scripts, please continue your search on google. its a coder's best friend. besides coffee and babes.

 

good luck

Yep, you're trying to declare a variable inside single quotes. If echoed it would actually say the $subuser, instead of what $subuser is defined to.
