auto delete

I need a script that will delete files in a specified folder.

<?php


function delfile($str) 
{ 
foreach(glob($str) as $fn) { 
unlink("temp/$fn"); 
} 


?>

PHP:

doesnt seem to work...is it possible for the same script to delete files after x days?

 

looks like unlink should work. What happens when you try? Is the script in the same directory as the file?

Some ref:
http://us.php.net/delete

Yes, it is possible to delete a file after xx days. I think the best way would be to write a script that compare todays date to the created or modified date of the file. You could then run this manually or via cron, etc... I am not sure of the exact code, but PHP can handle it.

 

Your script needs to have read and write permissions
