[SOLVED] Check File age.

[Daleeburg]

I am tring to make a script that i will turn into a cron job.

 

Idealily it would check the age of the file and then figure out if it is more then 48 hours old and if it is it will delete it.

 

i have figured out how to check the age and how to delete the files, but how would i find out if they are 48 hours old?

<?php
$filetime = filemtime($file);
$timenow = time();
$timetwodays = time()-3600*48; // two days ago

if (($timenow - $filetime) >= $timetwodays) {
   echo 'The file is older than two days.'
}else {
   echo 'file is not older than two days';
}
?>

 

Un-tested, I would suggest testing it first.

It almost worked, so here is the working script

 

<?php
$filetime = filemtime($file);
$timenow = time();
$twodays = 3600*48; // two days ago

if (($timenow - $filetime) >= $twodays) {
   echo 'The file is older than two days.'
}else {
   echo 'file is not older than two days';
}
?>

 

or

 

<?php
$filetime = filemtime($file);
$timetwodays = time()-3600*48; // two days ago

if ($filetime <= $timetwodays) {
   echo 'The file is older than two days.'
}else {
   echo 'file is not older than two days';
}
?>

(second is untested, but should work)

 

Thanks
