UNLINK folder problem

[predator]

I'm trying to delete a folder that I have created earlier.
Take a look at the following code, please

$path = "\maa\\files\\tal\\$kurs\\$kursavsnitt\\$uid"; 
if ($handle = opendir($path)) { 
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { 
           unlink ($path.'/'.$file); 
       } 
   } 
   closedir($handle); 
} 

unlink("d:\\maa\\files\\tal\\$kurs\\$kursavsnitt\\$uid"); 

As you see I first delete all files that are in the folder
then with the
"unlink("d:\...." I try to delete the folder, but I am not successful 🙁

The files are deleted but I can't delete the folder "$uid".
Has anyone an idea?
thanks

<?php

// this wipes the entire
// directory clean (empty or not)

$path = "d:\\maa\\files\tal\\$kurs\\$kursavsnitt\\$uid";
$cmd = "rm -rf $path";
`$cmd`;

?>

Thanks, I figured out the problem though
I had
unlink("d:\maa\files\tal\$kurs\$kursavsnitt\$uid");

but it should of course be
rmdir("d:\maa\files\tal\$kurs\$kursavsnitt\$uid");

rmdir instead of unlink 🙂
