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.

The filemtime function is what the OP wants. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ > On 7/16/07, chris@aquanuke.com <chris@aquanuke.com> wrote: >> >> 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 >> >>
