Help With Removing Files And Folders - removing all files from a directory

electriic ink
Is there a function or a group of functions which I can use to delete all the files an folders in a directory? I've tried rmdir() but it complains that it can't remove it because there are files/folders in it.

Try using FileMenager under your cPanel.

I know cPanel can do that, but I would like a function which I can use in my php scripts, rather than having to delete it manually each time.

  6. Change Permission With Php Code - code to change files' and folders' permissions? (3)
    As everyone know, there two ways (that I can think of) to change files' and directories'
    permissions. One is to change it in your cPanel's Disk Manager and the other is with an FTP
    client that supports chmod. Well, I'm doing something for my site that requires files to have
    full permissions (Execute, Write, and Read on all three groups). At first, I thought that if I made
    the directory 777, then every file created in that directory will be 777 as well. I'm wrong. An
