problems trying to remove a directory

Hi,

I'm having little trouble removing a non empty directory. rmdir only
deletes empty directories, so I tried doing this:

exec("rm -fr images/$dirname");

But it does nothing, and if I try rmdir("images/$dirname"); it says
directory not empty, and if I try unlink("images/$dirname/*.jpg"); it
says no such file or directory, but the directory exists and has some
files on it.

what can I do?

thanks,
