[PHP] - Directory's and their files

[Jam-ez]

Hello all,

I'm currently working on a private "uploader" type script. As I'm a lazy idiot, I'm working on an admin page that'll allow me to either:
- delete the directory and remake it with the appropriate permissions.
- delete all files in the directory, but leave the directory outstanding.

Deleting the directory is easy, with a function such as:
(not created by me

function rmdirr($dirname)
{
    // Sanity check
    if (!file_exists($dirname)) {
        return false;
    }

    // Simple delete for a file
    if (is_file($dirname) || is_link($dirname)) {
        return unlink($dirname);
    }

    // Loop through the folder
    $dir = dir($dirname);
    while (false !== $entry = $dir->read()) {
        // Skip pointers
        if ($entry == '.' || $entry == '..') {
            continue;
        }

        // Recurse
        rmdirr($dirname . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $entry);
    }

    // Clean up
    $dir->close();
    return rmdir($dirname);
} 

Then executing it, with a:

mkdir( $directory ); 

However, is it possible to chmod that by connecting to ftp? I checked out some links and php.net, but would it just be easier to attempt to delete every file in the directory?

Thanks a lot!

Aye, but is it easier to just delete all the files in the directory?

Not really, it only takes one line to do it.

Aright, thanks a bunch.
