Deleting a web page/directory

[lisad]

I also have a problem with deleting. If I try to delete 1 line in the database, the whole file gets wiped out. I've found web sites that have information on that and I've tried to use their methods, but they didn't work.

And if I try to delete a directory using

rmdir -d ("/public_html/$ename/");

it doesn't delete the directory.. anyone have a solution for that?

Thanks so much!

It can only remove the dir if it is empty you have to unlink [perldoc.com] any files in the dir first

What about using

system("rm -rf directory/");

?
