Here is a simple script that I use for removing and copying non-empty directories. Very useful when you are not sure what is the type of a file.

I am using these for managing folders and zip archives for my website plugins.

<?php

// removes files and non-empty directories
function rrmdir($dir) {
  if (is_dir($dir)) {
    $files = scandir($dir);
    foreach ($files as $file)
    if ($file != "." && $file != "..") rrmdir("$dir/$file");
    rmdir($dir);
  }
  else if (file_exists($dir)) unlink($dir);
} 

// copies files and non-empty directories
function rcopy($src, $dst) {
  if (file_exists($dst)) rrmdir($dst);
  if (is_dir($src)) {
    mkdir($dst);
    $files = scandir($src);
    foreach ($files as $file)
    if ($file != "." && $file != "..") rcopy("$src/$file", "$dst/$file"); 
  }
  else if (file_exists($src)) copy($src, $dst);
}
?>

Cheers!
