auto delete

[cavendano]

This script was meant to delete a file after X days...in this case I wanted it to delete files that were older than 1 day except .htaccess. 

what the script is doing is deleting everything in the specified folders except htaccess even though the files are less than a day old.

any suggestions?

 

<?php
function delete_old_files($dir, $time_limit = 0,$exclude=array()){ 
if(!$time_limit) $time_limit = 1*24*60*60; 
if ($df = opendir($dir)) {  
while (false !== ($file = readdir($df))) {
   if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {    
$last_modified = filemtime($file);       
if((time()-$last_modified > $time_limit) && !in_array($file , $exclude)){     unlink($dir."/".$file);   
}   
}  
}  closedir($df); 
}
}delete_old_files('gcd' , 10 , array('.htaccess'));
delete_old_files('uploadedFiles' );
delete_old_files('temp' );
?>

its not clear what folder you are seeing the function delete anything,

but looking at your code you call the function 3 times, the last two of which will use your default time_limit of 0 days.

looking at your function i think you mean to have the time limit be null not 0, 0 could be assumed a numeric value vs false

 

if you provide more details into what folder is having the issue we might have more insight for ya

 

good luck

all folders are getting their files deleted....if i upload a file into all three directories and run the script it deletes it....

the gcd, temp, and uploadedFiles folders lose all their files regardless of creation time
