deleting all one day old files from folder through php

If you want to find the old files from your system or server then you can use the following code. I used the following code for deleting the old files from system.

deleting all one day old files from folder through php


/*****************Get the path to Extension ****************/
$array_path = explode("/",$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
<div id=":2e">$dynamic_path = "";
for ($i=0;$i
 if($array_path[$i]!="")
$dynamic_path =$dynamic_path."/".$array_path[$i];

// This linux command will delete the one day older from specific folder.
exec("find ".$dynamic_path."* -mtime +1 -exec rm {} \;");</pre>
<div>

For deleting the old files from system I used the Linux command. You can execute the command using the exec function.

If you want to use the Linux command then use the following command

# find /home/user/test/ -m

time +1 exec rm {}

Above code will only work in Linux server.
