Empty but not delete a directory

[bobinindia]

I am trying to empty a directory of jpeg files with unknown names.

Can i use unlink() with a wildcard? If so how?

 

 

[Orio]

<?php

//$dir = folder name to empty, with an ending "/"
function empty_dir ($dir)
{
$files = glob($dir."*");
foreach($files as $file)
{
	if(is_dir($file))
	{
		if($file != "." && $file != "..")
			empty_dir($dir.$file."/");
	}
	else
		unlink($file);
}
}

?>

 

Orio.

i have tried your code like this and the folder has the correct permissions. Any other suggestions?

<?php
function empty_dir ($dir)
{
$files = glob("*");
foreach($files as $file)
{
	if(is_dir($file))
	{
		if($file != "." && $file != "..")
			empty_dir($dir.$file."/");
	}
	else
		unlink($file);
}
}
$dir = "images/changer/";
empty_dir($dir);
?>

[Orio]

I've edited my code 20 seconds after I posted it with a little fix. Copy it again.

20 seconds makes all the difference.

Thanks.
