Code:
   

<?php

   function delete_directory($dir) {
      if ($dh = @opendir($dir)) {
          while (($file = readdir ($dh)) != false) {
             if (($file == ".") || ($file == "..")) continue;
                if (is_dir($dir . '/' . $file))
                   delete_directory($dir . '/' . $file);
                else
                   unlink($dir . '/' . $file);
          }
          @closedir($dh);
          rmdir($dir);
      }
   }
$dir = "./fakeDir";
delete_directory($dir);
?>
