Its very small and simple. here it is :-

function rmdir_r ( $dir, $DeleteMe = TRUE )
{
if ( ! $dh = @opendir ( $dir ) ) return;
while ( false !== ( $obj = readdir ( $dh ) ) )
{
if ( $obj == '.' || $obj == '..') continue;
if ( ! @unlink ( $dir . '/' . $obj ) ) rmdir_r ( $dir . '/' . $obj, true );
}

closedir ( $dh );
if ( $DeleteMe )
{
@rmdir ( $dir );
}
}

It’s a recursive function that deletes the directory with its files, folders and sub-folders.

function delete_directory($dirname) {
if (is_dir($dirname))
$dir_handle = opendir($dirname);
if (!$dir_handle)
return false;
while($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
if (!is_dir($dirname."/".$file))
unlink($dirname."/".$file);
else
delete_directory($dirname.'/'.$file);
}
}
closedir($dir_handle);
rmdir($dirname);
return true;
}
