PHP rmdir() Function


Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on PHP. In this tutorial guide, we are going to be studying about the PHP rmdir() Function.

The built-in PHP rmdir() function removes an empty directory.

Syntax

Following below is the syntax to use this function -

bool rmdir ( string $dirname [, resource $context ] )


This PHP function attempts to remove the directory named by dirname. The directory must be empty, and relevant permissions must permit this. An E_WARNING level error can be generated on failure.

Return Value

This PHP function returns true on success, or false on failure.

Example

Try out the below example -

<?php
   if(!is_dir("/PhpProject/examples")) {
      mkdir("/PhpProject/examples");
   }

   rmdir("/PhpProject/examples");
   echo "Directory removed successfully!!!";
?>

Output

When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -

Directory removed successfully!!!
