I'm guessing you've got a UPS. We've got a similar set-up, our router is plugged into our UPS, and if nothing else is using it I can be online for a good couple of hours before the batteries go flat (I've got a laptop.)

I have several BIG UPSs that can run my gaming computer, all of my networking gear and all of my computers for a while (about 4 hours). Lightning had shot a power sub-station nearby which made us lose power for a few hours. There are plans at my house to get a whole house generator for when we get a rid of our copper telephone and put it on fiber optic, as if I have to get another UPS in the house, it'd become a mess should all of the batteries on them fail at the same time.

We've only got a small APC UPS (ES-700 or something), it's enough to power our (reasonable good) desktop, a Speedtouch Wi-Fi Router and a Linksys SLU2 (Slug) with a 500GB hard drive for 10-15 mins.

Ok, heres one to recursively remove files from a directory and also files from any sub directories.
It then removes all the folders

$dir_stack = array('test/');
$i = 0;
while ($i <= count($dir_stack)-1)
{
	echo $dir_stack[$i].'<br>';
	if ($dir = opendir($dir_stack[$i]))
	{
		while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir)))
		{
			if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && preg_match('/\.{1}/',$file))
			{
				unlink($dir_stack[$i].$file);
			}
			elseif ($file != "." && $file != "..")
			{
				array_push($dir_stack,$dir_stack[$i].$file.'/');
			}
		}
		closedir($dir);
	}
	$i++;
}
$i = count($dir_stack)-1;
while ($i >= 0)
{
	rmdir($dir_stack[$i]);
	$i--;
}

Could try this

$path='test/';
if ($dir = opendir($path))
    {
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir)))
        {
            if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
            {
                unlink($path.$file);
            }
        }
        closedir($dir);
        rmdir($path);
    }

Think I got it now Defec, based my script upon yours and tweaked it to suit the calls the arcade uses. I've just implemented the function into the arcade's game deletion script and it seems to work. I'm going to continue with a complete rewrite of the administration panel soon, making the main site work is hard. I think I'm aiming for a July 2009 launch lol, there's a LOT of stuff that needs rewriting; you can really tell I was an uber noob when I wrote this stuff. In other news, if this works I might stick the source on SourceForge, but the code for 0.9 is awful and ain't going nowhere lol.

Edit: Stupid me, can't remove folders with this. I was wondering if it was possible to use is_dir() to check if it's a directory and remove the files from it, but this would only to go so far into the tree. I want to keep it OO, but this is getting more complicated now...Any ideas on how to make the code in my post above delete ALL subdirectories as well as the files?

I'm catching up with you Vigge.

Hey, does anyone know a good place to start learning PHP?
I know have Lighttpd which runs faster than Apache so I can use my computer a lot better.

 

[TechAsh]

Hey, does anyone know a good place to start learning PHP?

I'm using a mixture of W3Schools and PHP101.

 

[Mitch]

Lol, i am saying to myself that the bmx tricks-tournement had started.

 

[tnl2k7]

Another good site for learning PHP is http://hudzilla.org/phpwiki/ . Anyone know the answer the answer to my above question? Defec, please help me

-Luke.

 

[DeadBattery]

Thanks TechAsh and Luke, I am halfway through w3's PHP Basics now.

LOL the n00btubers are back in Star Wars: Battlefront II today. I keep getting hit by them, but they are running into my land mines since I play as a heavy. It's always funny yelling into the game saying "HAH! You n00btube me, I land mine you n00bishly by placing mines on a door"

Thats why I posted this one just above the quoted post of yours

$dir_stack = array('test/');
$i = 0;
while ($i <= count($dir_stack)-1)
{
    echo $dir_stack[$i].'<br>';
    if ($dir = opendir($dir_stack[$i]))
    {
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir)))
        {
            if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && false == is_dir($dir_stack[$i].$file))
            {
                unlink($dir_stack[$i].$file);
            }
            elseif ($file != "." && $file != "..")
            {
                array_push($dir_stack,$dir_stack[$i].$file.'/');
            }
        }
        closedir($dir);
    }
    $i++;
}
$i = count($dir_stack)-1;
while ($i >= 0)
{
    rmdir($dir_stack[$i]);
    $i--;
}

Just changed the preg_match('/\.{1}/',$file) to is_dir($dir_stack[$i].$file) as it would be more predictable

EDIT
Works like a dream, folders within folders with files all over the place. Anything in the array $dir_stack is treated as TO BE DELETED.

I use http://php.net/ for learning anything I need to for PHP!

Nice job, Defect.

 

[DefecTalisman]

Thank you B.

@tnl: If you want to make that OO I would recomend rather creating a file handling class. Would seem silly to turn 1 function that only has 1 argument into a class all on its own

 

[galaxyAbstractor]

hey defec, what do you think about my implention of the cpanelAPI http://jagf.net/ ? (look at the bottom)

 

[DefecTalisman]

Not bad.

You might want to remove the 2 blank spaces(&nbsp) before the Free space/bandwidth

<br>Free Space in %: <br> &nbsp; <img....

Also I have further worked on the stat bar so it can have a gradient from and to what ever RGB color you want via the query string. Also has a 3D switch that will bring in a 2nd gradient to white and back again across the x axis.
eg

funny how the img tag is not working for me now
http://www.defectalisman.com/class/...255.255&sg=0.125.125&eg=255.15.15&time=1&s=3D

to switch off the parse timer just remove the time=1 totaly from the qs.

OK since I am bored I have decided to make the biggest thread even bigger by one post And I can not think what to say so, Please come to http://www.thecomputerforum.co.uk and at least make some posts (I need active members).

Wow, you really have got a lot of disk space.
total 10000 mb, but you only use 500 mb.
