Deleting Files In A Folder Modified Before Certain Date
I use a cache system that requires creation of files in a folder .
Now , what i need to know is how can i delete files created say 3 days ago.
So that the cache remains fresh.
The directory contains around 20,000 files , about 10,000 are generated each day (if they dont exist)
So getting info about the each file after using opendir will cause the server to slow down.

Detecting PDF Files In A Folder And Sorting Them By Date
I am about to write an application that will display all pdf files in a folder and display them by file name in order of date. Is there an easy way of doing this? I was thinking about somehow adding filename and date created in an array, sorting by date and then printing onto an html page with a link to that file. How would I do this though? Is this the simplest method or is there a better way of doin this?
Batch File Deleting And Folder Deleting
I have a folder in my web site where I used php to create and copy in files. but now I can't delete them easily. The only way I know how that is possible is through php. I get an error the following ftp error: 550 th: Permission denied I had the chmod() set to 0777 on every file and folder. But I still seem to loss control over the files when I try and do things with them through other means. I think it is because the user I use to access the files via ftp a diffrent user. So I tryed to add a function with chown() for the new files I was posting and uploading. It didn't work on those new files. so it looks like the only thing I can do is use the unlink() function which deletes the files fine. The only problem is now I have something like 100 sub directories all with files in them. I need to figure out a way to batch delete them. I can't find a script that goes through and finds all file contents including all sub directories and unlink those things. I found some that will use a for loop to list out the contents of a folder but it is just files. No sub directories. Any body got any ideas on which functions I should use or know where a script is that I can base mine off of. I am not sure how to approach this since what I tryed with chown and chmod has failed thus far. I currently have no code and am starting from scratch on this batch flushing of my directory.
Last Modified Date
Is there any way to access the last modified date of a page off your own domain?
Displaying Modified Date Of A URL File
I want to display a web page with links to various documents and display the date each document was last modified next to the link. I've found the filemtime command and that works quite nicely for "local" files. However, filemtime doesn't work if the file(s) are refered to by their URLs (which is how I need to do it). A comment on the manual page (http://www.php.net/manual/function.filemtime.php3) refers to having to use "Socket Operations" but the link posted with that comment doesn't work (it just goes to a page saying the website has been rearranged).
Modified Date For Alternative File
Is there a way to add the last modified date for an alternative file into another one? My problem is that when I use getlastmod it is looking at the date on a file that controls headers/background etc for the page, but not the file that is accessed during modification of the data. Is there any way to add a line of code to get the modified date from the data file?
Change Modified Date Automatically

Deleting Not Empty Folder.
Does any one know how to delete a folder completely (with or with out any content in it). Situation I am having: I upload 3 files into a new folder, and rename the folder. I only see 3 files in it, yes it is correct, but when I see property of the folder, it says I have 4 files! ( I confirm I did not put any hidden files). Now, the problem comes, when I delete the files. Since I know the exact name of the 3 files, I delete them, but when I want to remove the folder, complaint is the folder is not empty!

Attaching/deleting Files
I'm trying to create a tree where you can access files from the tree. The files will NOT be stored in the database, but on the server. I have a web forum eg, where they store the title of the message in a separate table compared with the message which is another table. How do I store the files and show them on the tree, and how will the system know where to get the files from, if they're not in the database?

I have a configuration script which creates a directory on the server, directory used for uploading files. Everything works fine (creation of the directory, uploading) but when I try to delete an uploaded file from this directory using total commander as ftp client I get the following error: "550 Delete operation failed". The used code is something like this: $cursuri = "../cursuri"; @mkdir($cursuri, 0777); Note: if I use total commander "chmod 777 cursuri" I don't get any problems.
Zend Studio 3.5.2 Possibly Deleting Files?
At work I'm using Zend Studio 3.5.2 to develop PHP files on my Win2K desktop machine. I've got Zend Studio setup with a secure FTP (SFTP) connection to a RedHat Enterprise Linux machine. The files I'm editing 'live' on a Solaris machine and the linux machine mounts them through NFS. I actually access the files through a symbolic link to the mount point on the linux box. A little complicated I know, but it does work. I've been having a random problem lately. Every once in awhile (every couple of weeks) when I'm in Zend Studio and have a few (not all) php files open, all the files in the directory where I'm working get corrupted. They all get turned to a file of nothing but nulls (zeros) and the files are exactly 512 bytes long. This concerns me because it seems to only happen to me even though other people work on PHP files in other directories. The difference is that I'm the only one who uses Zend Studio regularly. I can't see how that would be a problem since the connection to the files is through SFTP and is essentially stateless and connectionless. Has anyone else seen this problem or have any insight about what might be going on?

What Is The Max PDF Files Allowed In A Folder?
Not sure where to put this question? I am building a book archives database with a front-end for some librarians. They want to upload book cover images onto the server (probably Win-NT). There are approximately 80000 records that will have the book cover images stored in a PDF document for each. Can I upload every PDF to the same folder? Is there some kind of limit for a folder?
Opening Files In The Same Folder..
I have a php file (1.php) that needs to open another php file (2.php) and parse it's output. 2.php gets it's data from an xml file and formats it in a pretty screen style. So what I need is something like: $fp = fopen ("2.php?file=file.xml","r"); but that wont work because there is no file called ƈ.php?file=file.xml' so how's it done?
Root Of Folder App Files
While I know putting a app into a folder was chiseled out of fine scottish granite and carried upto the top of ben nevis by php newbies many years ago - I dont think a folder is the best way to do it . The fact a script is in a folder means certain instant problems if you want to do certain things with . Assuming a script doesnt have index.php and all the script files have a filename prefix like phpgb_ then theres no chance of them clashing with anything else and theres no real reason to continue using a folder for the main script files . While the script will have a app folder for various things - does it make any sense not to use the root because of a single solitary file called index.php . phpgb_index.php is what I use and the method hasnt brought up a single problem of any shape or description . Gas lighting was once what everybody thought was the best way of doing it until that darn new fangled electricity came along .
1 - 2 Millions Files In One Folder?
I have to store over a million files, 10 - 15 kb each, in one folder. The files are created by my php script, sometimes the old files are deleted and new ones are written. So, basically on every connection my script reads/deletes/ writes files from/to that folder. Right now i have only around 300 000 files in that folder, and it feels like its getting slower for that script to work. It does work at the moment, but i am not sure what will happen when there is over a million files there... Are there any limits of files that can be stored in a folder? Would it be better for me to use mysql? I am not sure how mysql will cope with millions of writes/reads
