I want to delete files from multiple direcories in PHP. The problem is when the code is run it deletes everything. I have a main folder which has a lots of folders in it. Those folders have files that i want to delete except that file in $filesToKeep variable. I'm a beginner PHP developer, and i really don't know how could i find the problame. If there is an another easier way to delete those files could be helpful too.

Here is my code:

function rrmdir($dir) {

    if (is_dir($dir)) {

      $objects = scandir($dir);

      foreach ($objects as $object) {

        if ($object != "." && $object != "..") {

          if (filetype($dir."/".$object) == "dir") rrmdir($dir."/".$object); else unlink($dir."/".$object);

        }

      }

      reset($objects);

      rmdir($dir);

    }

  }

 $filesToKeep = array(

     'partner-profil-480.jpg'

 );

 $dirList = glob('*');

 foreach ($dirList as $file) {

   if (!in_array($file, $filesToKeep)) {

       if (is_dir($file)) {

           rrmdir($file);

       } else {

           unlink($file);

       }//END IF

   }//END IF

}//END FOREACH LOOP

?>

'.' && $object != '..') {_ if (is_dir($dir.'/'.$object)) {_ rrmdir($dir.'/'.$object);_ } else {_ unlink($dir.'/'.$object);_ }_ }_ }_ rmdir($dir);_ }_}_$mainFolder = 'path/to/main/folder';_$filesToKeep = ['image.jpg'];_rrmdir($mainFolder);
