How do I remove a directory that is not empty

Question

I am trying to remove a directory with rmdir, but I received the 'Directory not empty' message, because it still has files in it.

What function can I use to remove a directory with all the files in it as well?

Hello,

Try this code:

function rrmdir($dir)
{
 if (is_dir($dir))
 {
  $objects = scandir($dir);

  foreach ($objects as $object)
  {
   if ($object != '.' && $object != '..')
   {
    if (filetype($dir.'/'.$object) == 'dir') {rrmdir($dir.'/'.$object);}
    else {unlink($dir.'/'.$object);}
   }
  }

  reset($objects);
  rmdir($dir);
 }
}

Hope it helps!!
