I have several folders with images that I need, by PHP, to delete all the .JPG files before starting a certain function, without deleting the subfolders that are inside.
How can I make this function delete the JPG without deleting the subfolders?
The folder looks like this:
imagem/01.JPG
imagem/02.JPG
imagem/original/01.JPG
imagem/original/02.JPG
I want to delete only the first 2 "image / 01.JPG and image / 02.JPG"
You can do this:
array_map('unlink', glob("caminho/completo/*.JPG"));
The glob will return an array with all possible paths (referring to .JPG files within the given folder).
array_map will apply the unlink function to each element of the array.
unlink will remove the file corresponding to the path.
You can use glob as @JuniorNunes suggested , but glob is case-sensitive (it is case-sensitive), that is, if it has files like this:
1.JPG 2.Jpg 3.jpg Only 1.JPG will be deleted, ie 2.Jpg and 3.jpg will be kept, which I believe is not what you want.
The ideal would be to do this:
array_map('unlink', glob('images/*.[Jj][Pp][Gg]'));
With [Jj][Pp][Gg] it will recognize the extension independently if it has any upper or lower case.
