You too! The OP wanted a way to check the age of all files. The
fileatime function will return when the file was last accessed.
Accessing a file is not usually deemed to affect its age, modifying it
is. The filemtime function is what the OP wants.
Unless he wants filectime, for when the file was created, even if it's
been modified in the past week...
older could mean that, in some contexts...

Re: [PHP] Unlink file older then 7 days
How would I use fileatime to check if the file is older then 7 days? I have a directory with .txt and .txt.asc files. What I want to do is.. Check the age of all files ending in .txt.asc and if the file *.txt.asc is older then 7 days delete thatfile.txt.asc and also thatfile.txt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

How would I use fileatime to check if the file is older then 7 days?
something like:
$access = fileatime (c:\path\to\file);//assuming windows server
if ((time()-$access)(7*24*60*60)){
do whatever with old files
}
off the top of my head.
There are other ways to do it.
