All of the images from an album are stored in a single directory... so you can use a recursive delete function to delete all of the files and folders in that directory...

Here is a function you can use to delete a directory and all of its contents:

function deleteDirectory($dir) {
if (!file_exists($dir)) return true;
if (!is_dir($dir) || is_link($dir)) return unlink($dir);
foreach (scandir($dir) as $item) {
if ($item == '.' || $item == '..') continue;
if (!deleteDirectory($dir . "/" . $item)) {
chmod($dir . "/" . $item, 0777);
deleteDirectory($dir . "/" . $item);
};
}
return rmdir($dir);
}

Multiple deletion of images

hi Ray,

i dont need to actually delete all images, if you check out the script I sent - there is a checkbox that does a multiple record delete, i also need it to delete the images of the same name.. and those only.

Thanks

to delete the images associated to the records being deleted in the multi record delete would take some hand coding to accomplish. respond back with a phone number of skype address, and we can work on this trough a screen sharing session.
