Made me test it too, and yeah, it works when you wrap unlink in a user function. Weird though, can't explain why it's okay with that, but fails with the built-in function.

Edit: Actually, I think I got it: unlink() takes a stream resource as an optional second parameter. When array_walk() sends the array key as the second parameter, unlink() fails, because it expects a stream resource, but gets an integer or string. When your function myunlink() receives the second parameter, it simply ignores it (=not resulting in a fatal error).

this works just fine for me on xp:

$dir = "/yourdirectory/";
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false){
if(
preg_match("/yourregex./ismU", $file))){echo "filename:".$file."\n";unlink($file);}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
