very simple deletion question.

Hi guys

 

Let say i have 5 files

 

and all of them has the .swf extension filename.

 

now how do i delete them properly by just calling one statement?

 

i tried the code below but it did not work.

 

<?php

    unlink("*.swf");

?>

 

 

thank you in advance.

You cannot do a batch deletion with a wildcard using the unlink method, you must loop through the files you wish to delete.

This should work:

 

<?php

$dir = './dir/'; // The directory must have '/' at the end!

$arr = scandir($dir);

foreach($arr as $value)
{
  if(strstr($value, '.swf'))
  {
    unlink($dir . $value);
  }
}

?>
