单个PHP文件，可以擦除包含子文件夹和文件本身的文件夹中的所有内容

Question

I found myself with a huge challenge and I wonder how can I create this, so I've decided to ask for help. This is my problem:

I need a single PHP file that is capable to delete the entire folder and sub folders inside my domain name, that upon deletion, also the file disappears (gets deleted).

I am not sure how to do this, I can show the files under a domain name with a single PHP script, however, it requires me to delete the files by selecting them and then press a delete button to complete my action, I am looking for a PHP script that not also deletes all the files and folders, but can delete itself after completing the task.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Answer 3

There are several ways to do that. One of them is using exec.

For linux you can use

exec ('rm -rf /path/to/folder');

and for windows you have

exec ('rmdir path/to/folder /S /Q');
