do you have the relevant permissions to unlink() the files in question?
try dumping/collecting some debugging infomation a bit like this
function does:
/* delete everything in the $dir */
function recursiveDelete($dir)
{
$msgs = array(
"\n"."\n".'deleting everthing in: '.$dir,
"\n".'---------------------------------------------------------------'
);
if ($handle = /*@*/opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) {
if (($file == ".") || ($file == "..")) {
continue;
}
if (is_dir($dir.'/'.$file)) {
// call self for this directory
$msgs = array_merge($msgs, recursiveDelete($dir.'/'.$file));
$r = rmdir ($dir.'/'.$file);
$msgs[] = "\n".'deleting dir.: '.$dir.'/'.$file.($r?' SUCCESSFUL':' FAILED');
}
else {
$r = unlink($dir.'/'.$file); // remove this file
$msgs[] = "\n".'deleting file: '.$dir.'/'.$file.($r?' SUCCESSFUL':' FAILED');
}
}
/*@*/closedir($handle);
return $msgs;
}
/* return an array of messages always - for the call array_merge() */
return array();
}
