help with cache file-deleting script

[marcnyc]

Hello, I am trying to make a script that I can run via Cron to delete all the files in a specific cache folder.
I have this:

PHP Code:

<?php
$files = array();
$index = array();
$yesterday = strtotime('yesterday');

if ($handle = opendir('cache_chaindlk')) {
    clearstatcache();
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
           if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
               $files[] = $file;
            $index[] = filemtime( 'cache_chaindlk/'.$file );
           }
    }
      closedir($handle);
}
asort( $index );

foreach($index as $i => $t) {
    if($t < $yesterday) {
        @unlink('cache_chaindlk/'.$files[$i]);
    }

}
?>

Doesn't seem to work.

try:

PHP Code:


$dir= 'cache_chaindlk';//set to full server path
$seconds=  24 * 60 * 60;
$files= scandir($dir);
foreach($files as $num=>$fname){
    if(file_exists($dir . $fname) && ((time() - filemtime($dir . $fname)) > $seconds)){
        unlink($dir . $fname);
    
    }
}

I added a few slashes and did this:

PHP Code:

$dir= getcwd().'/cache_chaindlk';//set to full server path
$seconds= 24 * 60 * 60;
$files= scandir($dir);
foreach($files as $num=>$fname){
    if(file_exists($dir.'/'.$fname) && ((time() - filemtime($dir.'/'.$fname)) > $seconds)){
        unlink($dir.'/'.$fname);
        echo 'Deleting '.($dir.'/'.$fname).'...<br />';
    }
}


Seems to be working, if it doesn't I'll report back in half hour when it's goes through all 5000 cache files...


Thanks for your help!
