days ago, is expanded by the shell into a full command, so because your not
running a shell, it can't be expanded and the raw unlink call to *.* fails because
the unlink function doesn't understand wildcards. If you really want to do a
recursive deletion (i.e., remove both a directory and everything under it) you
could use:
exec("/bin/rm -rf path/$name-of-dir-to-be-erased");
Just be very sure about what your doing (multiple checks on the variable's
value to make sure your not erasing anything you don't want to) cause this
command, when executed with the proper permissions, will kill any directory
and everything under it.

Ok, Jason, here's another one!
I think I've read how to delete a file.
I need to delete 25 files, then do a rmdir(blah);
Line 16: $directory = "path/*.*";
Warning: Unlink failed (No such file or directory) in
