Problem deleting directory of files??

[orionblue]

Hi there,

I'm using the following function (from a devshed article) to delete a directory of images (depending on the group selected). It's not working though, and despite my trying to change a few things here and there I can't figure out what to do?

	function purge($dir) {
	$handle = opendir($dir);
	while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
		if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
			if (is_dir($dir.$file)) {
				purge ($dir.$file."/");
				rmdir($dir.$file);
			}
			else {
				unlink($dir.$file);
			}
		}
	}
	closedir($handle); 
	}

purge("/services/web/mydomain.com/public/images/200/");
		

If someone can suggest what I'm doing wrong?

thanks for any tips...
