PHP empty directory without recursive function

Question

Can anyone suggest the best way to empty a folder using PHP. I do not want to use the recursive approach. Is there any alternative and what is that function/approach?

Thanks

Answer 1

Have you tried using a combination of array_map, unlink and glob like this :

array_map('unlink', glob("/path/to/folder/*"));

Answer 2

$files = glob('path/to/temp/*'); // get all file names
foreach($files as $file){ // iterate files
  if(is_file($file))
    unlink($file); // delete file
}

Answer 3

Use below code

array_map('unlink', glob("path/test/*"));
