Deleting all files

[adinardi]

I'm trying to delete all files in a directory. I tried unlink("./folder/*") but I get an Invalid argument on it. Anyone know how to make this work?

Thanks,

Try this

unlink() is only for files.

Try this function for directories...

function unlink_dir( $dir )
{
	$handle = opendir( $dir );
	while( false !== ( $file = readdir( $handle ) ) )
	{
		if( $file != '..' && $file != '.' )
		{
			unlink( $dir . '/' . $file );
		}
	}
}

Usage...

unlink_dir( '/the/directory' );

Looks good. Thanks all. I'll give those a try.
