deleting directories

[Anon]

I need to delete directories that still have files or sub directories in it.

I've search through previous posts, but all have failed.

Can anyone write me a reliable code that can delete a non-empty directory and report a value

eg.

if ($unlink == "true") {
echo("directory empty");
} else {
echo("remove directory failed");
}

<?
function deldir($location) {
if (substr($location,-1) <> "/")
$location = $location."/";
$all=opendir($location);
while ($file=readdir($all)) {
if (is_dir($location.$file) && $file <> ".." && $file <> ".") {
deldir($location.$file);
rmdir($location.$file);
print "Removed directory ($location$file)\n";
unset($file);
} elseif (!is_dir($location.$file)) {
unlink($location.$file);
print "Removed file ($location$file)\n";
unset($file);
}
}
if (rmdir($location))
return 1;
}
?>
<?
if (deldir("/")) {
echo "You deleted your entire 'puter baby! :-)";
}
?>

rmdir() doesn't seem to work, I try multiple file paths (even getcwd() . $path and whatever), I've also tried system("del $path") and exec("del $path") and it doesn't seem to work. What should I do?
