Hi Basically what you need to do is scan trhu the each and very file and directory remove the file based on the conditions. check out the below code to find out the files. function mostRecentModifiedFileTime($dirName$doRecursive) { $d = dir($dirName); $lastModified = 0; while($entry = $d->read()) { if ($entry != . && $entry != ..) { if (!is_dir($dirName./.$entry)) { $currentModified = filemtime($dirName./.$entry); } else if ($doRecursive && is_dir($dirName./.$entry)) { $currentModified = mostRecentModifiedFileTime($dirName./.$entrytrue); } if ($currentModified > $lastModified){ $lastModified = $currentModified; } } } $d->close(); return $lastModified; } Check out the below link for more infromation http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?t=10255708 Thanks -- Vj http://dotnetvj.blogspot.com
