post some code, cuz those are the commands you will need, but you may be implementing them incorrectly

Make sure your path is correct. Either start it with a ./ (for current directory), or give it the full path.

Thanks,

This is the code:

$dir= opendir('c:\Temp\A');
while ($file=readdir($dir)) {
if(!is_dir($file)) {
$r=unlink ($file);
}
}
closedir($dir);
$r=rmdir('c:\Temp\A');

In the directory there are only files, but
i verify it.

did the board put the double back slashes in, if so change them to single slashes, you don't need escape slashes cuz you are in single quotes

and you may need a trailing slash for it to work completely

Thanks for answer,

I solved the problem with files. I eeded
to said to the unlink function the
directory too, not only the file name.

I tried to do what you said with
backslashes, but if i put only one (because there was single quotes) it
didn't work. Finally i put the directory
name with double quotes.

The code is:

$directory="c:\temp\A\";
$dir= opendir($directory);
while ($file=readdir($dir)) {
echo"FICHERO: ".$file."<BR>";
if(!is_dir($file)) {
$r=unlink ($directory.$file);
}
}
closedir($dir);
$r=rmdir($directory);

But i can't delete the directory!!!!
