you could use a loop and do something like
1. read a directory getting all the files that have that name.
2. loop through and delete off each file that has any given extension or
selected extensions, or all with that file name ... example:
=================================
if ( $dir = opendir($path) )
{
while ($file = readdir($dir))
{
if ( !eregi( "^thefilename", $file ) ) continue; ##use regex to
check for files with the specified "$filename"; if file not w/ this name,
skip it
if ( is_file( $file ) && $file != "." && $file != ".." && $file !=
"" )
unlink( $file ); ## this will delete off the file
}
}
}
closedir($dir);
=================================
*You should look into regular expressions to help you parse out bits from a
string ( If you aren't already familiar with regex's ).
Good luck!
