RE: [PHP] deletion of temp files
How do you associate a temp file with a session so PHP automatically deletes it when garbage collection occurs -Original Message- From: Chris Lambert - WhiteCrown Networks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 11:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] deletion of temp files Sessions support garbage removal, where the temp files will be deleted at a random time after the user has left. /* Chris Lambert, CTO - [EMAIL PROTECTED] WhiteCrown Networks - More Than White Hats Web Application Security - www.whitecrown.net */ - Original Message - From: Anurag Bhalla [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 09, 2001 3:14 AM Subject: [PHP] deletion of temp files Hi list In my application,I need to generate some files for each user who comes to my site.These files need to be deleted once the user logs off.

RE: [PHP] deletion of temp files
One way to do this is to create a special directory in htdocs reserved only
for temporary files. Add the following line to crontab or a user with
permissions to delete:
0 * * * * find /usr/local/apache/sitename/htdocs/specialdir/ -cmin
+1440 -exec -rm -f {}
Every hour this script will delete all files in specialdir over 24 hours
old. Just make sure you use the right directory name :)
I like this approach best because it doesn't add a bunch of overhead to any
of the session scripts.
