If you want files older than X seconds, and you have a modification time... Then you can unlink() them can't you?! I think you pretty much found the solution yourself. But just in case... Take a look at the following manual pages and create a construction with them. I think these are all you need. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.opendir.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.closedir.php (in order to scan your directory) http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stat.php (in order to get the modification time) Hope this helps... And if this wasn't the problem... Tell me/us! </Reply> -- * R&zE: -- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» -- Renze Munnik -- DataLink BV -- -- E: renze@datalink.nl -- W: +31 23 5326162 -- F: +31 23 5322144 -- M: +31 6 21811143 -- -- Stationsplein 82 -- 2011 LM HAARLEM -- Netherlands -- -- http://www.datalink.nl -- ««««««««««««««««««««««««
