Heres the function - sometimes the scandir fails, sometimes the unlink, sometimes the rmdir at the end. They all have @ to try and surpress the error, but I think it's a system halt failure - I can only assume? You'll also see there are quite a lot of clearstatcache - that was another attempt to sort this problem out! function system_rmdir($dir) { $current_error_level = error_level(); error_reporting(0); $dir = $dir."/"; $dir=str_replace("//", "/", $dir); clearstatcache(); if (is_dir($dir)) { $dir_contents = scandir($dir); foreach ($dir_contents as $item) { clearstatcache(); if (is_dir($dir.$item) && $item != '.' && $item != '..') { system_rmdir($dir.$item.'/'); } elseif (file_exists($dir.$item) && $item != '.' && $item != '..') { @unlink($dir.$item); } } clearstatcache(); if (is_dir($dir)) { @rmdir($dir); } } error_reporting($current_error_level); } Thanks Nunners -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
