About

This is a script to delete all nodes under some tree.
Please note that this script may use large amounts of memory.

A better solution has been developed called, 'batchtool'. Try using batchtool instead of this script snippet example.

<?php

require('autoload.php');

    $deleteIDArray = array();
    $nodeArray =& eZContentObjectTreeNode::subTree( array( 'ClassFilterType' => 'include', 'ClassFilterArray' => $classID, 'Depth' => $depth, ), $parentNodeID );
 
    print("Deleting " . count($nodeArray) . " nodes. If that is not what you want it would be good to press ctrl-c now.. deleting starts in 20 seconds!!\n\n");
     sleep(20);

     $deletecount = 0;
    $deleteIDArray = array();
 
     foreach ( $nodeArray as $node )

        eZContentObjectTreeNode::removeSubtrees( array( $node->attribute( 'main_node_id' ) ), false );
