Hi, I need a script that on click of a button. Delete a folder/file.
So when I click the button the folder deletes and it is for a install file that I made.
Google the php api...
Then it should be just a case of your button sending the name of the file and deleting it with php.
Google the php api.
There should be functions to delete or remove a directory/file.
Just make sure the permissions are set appropriately.
From Google...
<?php
// ------------------------------------------------------------
function recursive_remove_directory($directory, $empty=FALSE)
{
if(substr($directory,-1) == '/')
{
$directory = substr($directory,0,-1);
}
if(!file_exists($directory) || !is_dir($directory))
{
return FALSE;
}elseif(is_readable($directory))
{
$handle = opendir($directory);
while (FALSE !== ($item = readdir($handle)))
{
if($item != '.' && $item != '..')
{
$path = $directory.'/'.$item;
if(is_dir($path))
{
recursive_remove_directory($path);
}else{
unlink($path);
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
if($empty == FALSE)
{
if(!rmdir($directory))
{
return FALSE;
}
}
}
return TRUE;
}
// ------------------------------------------------------------
recursive_remove_directory('install');
?>
