deleting multiple files

[NZ_Kiwis]

Does anyone have a basic code which lists all files in a directory.. and if you tick the box next to it will delete them

[devinemke]

a simple example:

<?php
$path = '/path/to/files/';
$handle = opendir($path) or exit('could not open directory');
$file_array = array();
while (($filename = readdir($handle)) !== false)
{
	if ($filename != '.' && $filename != '..' && is_file($path . $filename))
	{
		$file_array[] = $filename;
	}
}

if ($file_array && isset($_POST['delete']))
{
	foreach ($_POST['delete'] as $value)
	{
		unlink($path . $value) or exit('could not delete file: ' . $value);
		unset($file_array[array_search($value, $file_array)]);
	}
}

if ($file_array)
{
	sort($file_array);

echo '<form action="" method="POST">';

foreach ($file_array as $value)
{
	echo '<input type="checkbox" name="delete[]" value="' . $value . '">' . $value . '<br>';
}

echo '
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="delete">
</form>
';
}
else
{
	echo 'no files found in ' . $path;
}
?>
