I have an issue here guys...

I can't seem to be able to mrdir on multiple entries at a time. Any
would be much appreciated...

From a display list, I have a checkbox next to each entry for deleting the
entries, eg. I want to delete five of those.

After confirming?submitting the deletion form, I collect the checked values
and store them in an array along with their ID ofcourse, then using the for
loop calling a function that would:

1. Get the name of the directory that was stored in DB (using unique ID).
The folder or directory was created during upload of files.
2. Call for another function DELETE_ALL_FILES($id[$i], $DB_name,
$DefaultDir) to delete any files in this folder
3. And then within this function I call for another function
REMOVE_DIR($foldername, $DefaultDir) and then after removing the affected
directory, then lastly to delete the record from the DB.

It works! But only on an entry at a time!

Any better solution to go around this? Is there anything to do with
opendir() and chdir() and closedir()?
I'm stuck now... and frustrated.

Thankx beforehand

On the PHP site their site docs had some information for unlink() that might be
ful.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php

This was the last user comment and may be in line with what you're looking for.

<?
function delfile($str)
{
foreach(glob($str) as $fn) {
unlink($fn);
}
}
?>
