file/directory operations in php
We can do numerous file directory operations in PHP. To delete a file “unlink” function is used. In below program, we can see different operations, we can uncomment code to see the behavior.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$dir = "tasks/";
// to delete a single file
unlink("tasks/temp.txt");
// to show all the text files in a directory
foreach (glob($dir."*.txt") as $filename)
{
echo $filename . "<br>";
}
//======================================================
/*
// to delete all the files from a directory
$dir = "files/";
foreach(glob($dir."*.*") as $v)
{
unlink($v);
}
*/
?>
</body>
</html>
