Easy to use

To big advantage of this class is that is works recursive and that it works the same for directories and files.

If you for example want to delete a directory and all it’s content you can do it like this.

include("File.php");
$File = new Explorer();
$File->SetPath('c:/test/sitebase'); 
$File->Delete(); 

If you want to delete a file you can do this:

include("File.php");
$File = new Explorer();
$File->SetPath('c:/test/sitebase.txt');
$File->Delete(); 

To copy a directory and it’s content you do this:

include("File.php");
$File = new Explorer();
$File->SetPath('c:/test/sitebase'); 
$File->Copy('c:/test/sitebase_backup');
