使用 php 脚本从主机中删除所有 .htaccess 文件

Question

i need to delete all .htaccess files from the host but unfortunately a terminal is not available so may be it can be done using a php script. example: host path is home/name/public_html/ and inside the public_html folder there are other folders and subfolders and using a php script i was able to output all files path and count all .htaccess files (around 9000)... Please anyone can help to delete all these files as going folder by folder(subfolder) will take weeks as there are more than 8k folders/subfolders.

Thanks in advance

thanks to @LawrenceCherone for the indication on RecursiveDirectoryIterator

Got an example there and with few changes i was able to figure it out Here is the script in case anyone will need it on future:

$dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator(getcwd());
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($dir);

foreach($files as $file){
    $name_of_file = $file->getFileName();
    $path_of_file = $file->getPath()."/".$file->getFileName(); 
    //need to concatenate "/" otherwise it shows all attached (path and file name)
    if ($name_of_file == ".htaccess") {
        //echo $path_of_file . "<br />";
        unlink($path_of_file);
    }
}

Thanks to all for the help.
