Deleting all files from a folder using PHP?

  • 0

For example I had a folder called `Temp’ and I wanted to delete or flush all files from this folder using PHP. Could I do this?

    If you want to delete everything from folder (including subfolders) use this combination of array_map, unlink and glob:

    array_map( ‘unlink’, array_filter((array) glob(“path/to/temp/*”) ) );

    This code from http://php.net/unlink:

    /**
 * Delete a file or recursively delete a directory
 *
 * @param string $str Path to file or directory
 */
function recursiveDelete($str) {
    if (is_file($str)) {
        return @unlink($str);
    }
    elseif (is_dir($str)) {
        $scan = glob(rtrim($str,'/').'/*');
        foreach($scan as $index=>$path) {
            recursiveDelete($path);
        }
        return @rmdir($str);
    }
}
