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.

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.

Deleting Folder
Ive got the following which is meant to delte the may2007 folder if there is nothing inside of it. The only types of file it holds is .doc and .pdf. When I put one of each in there and I delete the .pdf, then this deletes just that and nothing else which is correct because there is still another document (the .doc one) in the folder. However, if I put both in and I delete the .doc one first, then this deletes the whole folder (may2007) when it shouldnt because there is another file in there (the .pdf one). public function RemoveDownload($iNewsId) { $oDownload = $this->GetObject($iNewsId); if ($oDownload->download) { unlink($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].UPLOADS_FOLDER_DOWNLOAD.$oDownload->download_path.'/'.$oDownload->download); $files = glob($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].UPLOADS_FOLDER_DOWNLOAD.$oDownload->download_path.'/{*.doc, *.pdf, *.DOC, *.PDF}', GLOB_BRACE);//Makes sure that it contains no Image if(count($files) < 1).........

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?

Deleting Files Using Unlink()
I have been searching the forums for examples of using unlink() and I thought I understood it, but my code is not working. I have a form where the user can upload an image. The image is stored in a directory on my server and the path to that file is stored in a database. I have have another form that allows an admin to delete that row from the database, but I also want the actual image file deleted too. I don't recieve any errors, but the rows get deleted from the database and images do not get deleted. I am using PHP5, MySQL and PEAR. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is not working? Here is my code: PHP Code: if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') { if ($_POST['yes_no'] == 'yes') { $isbn = $_POST['isbn']; $sql_select = "SELECT image FROM lounge WHERE isbn = $isbn"; $rows = $db->getRow($sql_select); $uploaddir = "uploads/"; $filename = $rows[image]; $image = $uploaddir.$filename; unlink($image); $sql_delete = "DELETE FROM lounge WHERE isbn = $isbn"; $db->query($sql_delete); print "<script>window.location='water_music_retrieve_testing.php'</script>"; } else { print "Record not deleted"; print "<script>window.location='water_music_retrieve_testing.php'</script>"; } }

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?

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

What's Your Folder Structure For Your Files?
So, I'm looking to get started on my first application, and my first question is about folder structure on the server and what are the best practices? When I create static content today, I create one folder per page usually to keep things organized. Any components are included in the related folder, and global components are added to a top level components folder. I realize the dynamics of PHP will reduce the need for hundreds of pages, and that's why I'm excited to learn this language. However, I still need to keep even the dynamic PHP files and components organized. I've seen some sites, where people put all their PHP files on the top level folder. Just wanted to get your feedback on how you guys keep your server folder structure organized?

Security Of Files In A Folder
I'm creating a database for old tests that people have taken. The tests are scanned in and stored in a folder on my server. In order to see them and navigate the many pdf files, you have to login with a username and password. I know how to do all that, but how can I password protect. pdf files on my server so that they can only be accessed from the point after the user has logged in? Everything works dandy except for the fact that people can directly link to a. pdf file (a huge security risk). Also, if I don't password protect the directory of the pdf files, can webcrawlers find the information and store it in their search database?
