Delete A Directory And All Its Files And Sub-directories?
Does anyone know of, or have code that will delete a php directory and
all its sub directories and files. "unlink" and "rmdir" don't do this.
I'd prefer not to use "exec" with a system call but if that's the only
way, so be it.

List Files In Directory Excluding Directories
I have the following code which I require to get the list of files in a given directory. However in that given directory I have other directories as well.

Protecting Files And Directories With Php
I've got a situation where i have a directory called "example". In this area i have three files, an index page that has a form on it in to which user's can authenticate, a page displaying either success or failure and if success redirects to a downloadable file. I don't want this downloadable file to be had by a direct url access, user's should have to authenticate to get it. I want to use php4 for this and if possible since this is a lightweight requirement i don't want to implement a database solution.
Including Files In Other Directories
I have some code running on windows on my local machine that uses the jpgraph image library. I include the jpgraph libs using include ("C:Programmingphpjpgraph-1.14srcjpgraph.php"); I am trying to get this code to run on my web host's unix server, with no luck. I put the folder (jpgraph) containing all the jpgraph libs in the same directory as my php code. I have tried all of the following: include ("/jpgraph/jpgraph-1.14/src/jpgraph.php"); //(relative path) include ("jpgraph/jpgraph-1.14/src/jpgraph.php"); //(relative path without leading slash) include ("/usr/www/users/mysite/jpgraph/jpgraph-1.14/src/jpgraph.php"); //(absolute path) include("http://www.mysite.com/jpgraph/jpgraph1.14/src/jpgraph.php"); //(url) include ("http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/" . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "/" . "jpgraph/jpgraph-1.14/src/jpgraph.php"); None of these have worked. Does anyone know the proper technique to include files in other directories when using Unix or Linux? Keeping all php files in the same directory is not feasible.

How To Delete Files Uploaded And Now Owned By PHP
Within homes/ PHP creates a directory, it's an integer such as homes/999 or homes/345. Within that new directory, PHP uploads some graphics, .gif or .jpg. The problem is, that directory and all those graphics are now "owned" by PHP, usually running as nobody or www. I can't delete them or copy them. I've tried running a chown() within PHP to make myself the owner, but I get "operation not allowed". The only solution I've found so far is to set umask(0), so that the directory and graphics have 777 permissions. I don't think that's very safe, though, is it? Does anyone have any suggestions. I want to be able to delete or copy the files like they are mine, but only me or my group. I'm not running the server myself, but those who are seem willing to work with me.

Would appreciate any pseudo code/code on getting this done, if possible.

Delete Files On Win2k - Permission Denied
I'm trying to delete local files within a php-script running on win2k (I'm loggend in as administrator, the script is not meant to run in a web-environment but only from commandline). the problem is I get a "permission denied" when I try to delete the file with unlink($file) or try to move it with ($oldpath.$file,$newpath.$file). since I'm administrator there shouldn't be problems with win2k's file-permissions, the files I'm trying to delete are full accessible for everyone. the php manual says that "unlink" probably won't work on windows but doesn't say how to delete files then?

Directory For Php Files
What are the advantages of putting php scripts in folders and sub folders in terms of security advantages.. i know it helps for knowing where everything is and its neater but is there any difference in terms of security?

Because at the moment my php files are all in htdocs folder they are not separated into folders like: includes folder session folder etc etc Some one mentioned about permissions is the more important thing but I don't know what it is =/.

How Do I Find Certain Files In A Directory?
I need to find all the files in a directory that have a particular extension (like .txt), and then load the contents of those files into MySQL. I understand how to find a specific file, but I'm not sure how to read an entire directory, then grab only those files that have the extension. Also, should I be concerned about the server timing out, or anything of that nature, since there might be as many as a few hundred files that I'll be loading into the database.
Files Sorting In Directory
Can anybody tell me how files are sorted in remote directories on an Apache server? I am working with files and directories in php, having pictures in a directory and let php find and display them automatically.

PHP Files Only Run In Root Directory?
I've installed a php forum script under a directory named 'forum', the script ran with no problems untill about a week ago, but now I get the following error: 'You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server.' Its has nothing to do with CMOD, I've tried that. Worst still it's not just the forum it's any PHP file thats under a directory. The thing is, I can run a PHP file from the root directory, but for some reason can't run the same file under another directory. eg www.mywebsite/testfile.php --- will work fine www.mywebsite/newdirectory/testfile.php --- causes permission error Could it be a .htaccess problem? Heres my error log report: Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /home/mywebsite/public_html/forum/index.php P.S The forum script dosn't use CGI?

Files And Directory Extensions
I'm currently running a website that generates dynamic images for users, for use in their signatures on forums. For example, I have created an image file (using PHP) and the address is http://www.website.com/tags/tag.php?u=Flava (an example). However, it seems that some forums block the ?u=Flava and so doesn't display it correctly - so instead, I would prefer to link to addresses such as http://www.website.com/tags/Flava.php (so that the users username, is in fact the filename). I know this is possible as I have seen it done elsewhere, however I am not too sure how to achieve it.
