Re: deleting folders on server with revDeleteFolder
Yeah, what Alex said, those are posix (Unix) placeholders that point to folders (. self, and .. parent directory), they aren’t actual real folders.

Re: deleting folders on server with revDeleteFolder
Perhaps try using something other than a period as the beginning folder name character? Could be that’s why it’s not working. Just a thought, could be totally wrong.

Re: deleting folders on server with revDeleteFolder
Those folders are "." - the folder itself ".." - the parent of the folder itself. As such, neither can be deleted directly, nor do they need to be in order to delete the folder itself. The folder itself should be deleted when the current folder is set to somewhere else. So - there isn't really a problem, just don't try to delete them by those names. Alex.

Then I have a LC script that is supposed to delete those directories under certain conditions. No problem for deleting files inside each directory, but 2 sub-directories are systematically created, named "." and ".." and those can't be deleted, either by script of via ftp. Therefore, there's no way to delete the directories created via php. Last but not least, the doc for LC 9.6.8 says that "revDeleteFolder" is the command to use to remove a folder and all its contents and that it is available on both desktop and server platforms, but on my LC hosting account I get : Handler: can't find handler (revDeleteFolder) Any idea how to solve this problem ?

Re: deleting folders on server with revDeleteFolder
I’m not at my desk at the moment, so I cannot give detailed information. But what I know is, that this function/command is included in the rev common library and that library is not included by default in LC Server. You need to copy that library from your LC ide Installation path to your LC Server installation path first. Then you have to load that library in your script using “start using stack Regards Matthias Von meinem iPhone gesendet > Am 17.07.2022 um 11:18 schrieb jbv via use-livecode > : > > Hi list, > > On my LC Hosting account, I have a php script that creates directories : > mkdir($dirname, 0755); > Each directory is used to temporarily store text & image files. > > Then I have a LC script that is supposed to delete those directories > under certain conditions.
