I've adapted a function which handles hidden unix files with the dot prefix and uses glob:

public static function deleteDir($path) {
    if (!is_dir($path)) {
        throw new InvalidArgumentException("$path is not a directory");
    }
    if (substr($path, strlen($path) - 1, 1) != '/') {
        $path .= '/';
    }
    $dotfiles = glob($path . '.*', GLOB_MARK);
    $files = glob($path . '*', GLOB_MARK);
    $files = array_merge($files, $dotfiles);
    foreach ($files as $file) {
        if (basename($file) == '.' || basename($file) == '..') {
            continue;
        } else if (is_dir($file)) {
            self::deleteDir($file);
        } else {
            unlink($file);
        }
    }
    rmdir($path);
}
