Removing all files and folders in a directory

[Habtom]

Is there a built in function to clear up everything in the root directory of a domain, or should I loop through the folders and remove directories and unlink the files? Any other suggestions.

this should do the trick:

function rm_all($dir) 
{ 
if (@$fp = opendir($dir)) 
{ 
while (($file = readdir($fp))!== false) 
{ 
if (($file!= '.') && ($file!= '..')) 
{ 
if (is_dir($dir."/".$file)) 
{ 
rm_all($dir."/".$file); 
rmdir($dir."/".$file); 
} 
else 
{ 
unlink($dir."/".$file); 
} 
} 
} 
} 
else 
{ 
echo "coulnd't open ".$dir."<br>\n"; 
} 
}

//edit
hmmm...for some reason, the forum keeps removing my tabs.

Take a look at this thread [webmasterworld.com] on indentation.
