note 86112 added to function.rmdir

here is a little improved 'removing' function with DirectoryIterator:

note for PHP on windows: if using the iterator and recursively removing dirs and files, u need to unset() before leaving/continue the foreach! ( permission denied problem...)

<?php

function removeRessource( $_target ) {
    $_target = realpath($_target);
    
    //file?
    if( is_file($_target) ) {
        if( is_writable($_target) ) {
            if( @unlink($_target) ) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        
        return false;
    }
    	
    //dir?
    if( is_dir($_target) ) {
        if( is_writeable($_target) ) {
            foreach( new DirectoryIterator($_target) as $_res ) {
                if( $_res->isDot() ) {
                    unset($_res);
                    continue;
                }
					
                if( $_res->isFile() ) {
                    removeRessource( $_res->getPathName() );
                } elseif( $_res->isDir() ) {
                    removeRessource( $_res->getRealPath() );
                }
                
                unset($_res);
            }
            		
            if( @rmdir($_target) ) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        
        return false;
    }
}
