Hi :) I need to write a script that will scan/read a given directory's contents and delete files older than a certain date. Ideally, this will be a script that runs via cron once a week and deletes all files it finds in the directory older than 2 weeks from the current date. I do currently have scripts running via cron and that's no problem. I'm not sure where to begin with the other components Begin in the manual:
Directory functions Filesystem functions - filemtime()
I'm not looking to be spoon-fed, but I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction to start researching. Best regards, Verdon
