unlink () and rmdir()

[ph3n0m]

is there anyway to use either of those two functions or another one, to

a) remove all files within a specificed folder
b) then remove that folder

is it also possible to create a generic function to do this, as what I would like to do is simply, enter the name of the relevant folder into a text box, press submit and have php do the rest. This also means it will remove any files in the specified folder, (be they php, jpg, gif)

any ideas on how to go about this?

rmdir() cannot delete directories with files inside. You can write a simple script to recursively delete all files with unlink() or delete(), then remove the dir itself.

Take a look at ...

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

Seems like I saw a script on there that would handle it.

exec("rm -Rf $delete_path");
