[PHP] Delete all files in DIR every 20 days
Hello, How can I delete ALL files within a specified directory every 20 days? Does anyone know of any code-snippets that are around at the moment that are able to do this? (And where I can find them?) Thanks Tim -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

How can I delete ALL files within a specified directory every 20 days? Does anyone know of any code-snippets that are around at the moment that are able to do this? (And where I can find them?) Thanks Tim Sounds more like a job for cron than for PHP - man crontab should set you up... Mikey -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You can put a tmp file in there and use filemtime() to check how old
it is. When it's 20 days old, do your deletes. You can setup the
check on the filemtime() with cron or whatever scheduling tools you
use.
if( ( @filemtime( 'tmp_file' ) + 20 * 24 * 60 * 60 ) time() )
{
// do deletes
// make new tmp_file
}

In linux you'd use rm -rf /path/to/dir and add this to crontab. -Robby -- /*** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | [EMAIL PROTECTED] * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP/PostgreSQL Hosting Development * --- Now hosting Ruby on Rails Apps --- / -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hello
take a look a the Pear File_Find class
require_once 'File/Find.php';
$fs = new File_Find;
$data = $fs-maptree('my_dir');
$data[0] contains all directorys
$data[1] all files
$ok = 0;
$err = 0;
foreach ($data[1] as $key)
{
if (unlink($key)) {
$ok++;
} else {
$err++;
}
}
if there is an error ist is not able to delete the directorys
// the first directory (in deep) must the last one
sort($data[0]);
foreach ($data[0] as $key)
{
if(rmdir($key))
}
