I've seen it on certain websites that will generate a file under certain parameters (through forms) that will dissapear (i.e. delete itself) after a specified amount of time...
Is there a group of library functions that allow this?
No.
The easiest way, in my mind would be to store the files in a directory according to the hour they were requested, for example, a file generated between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. today:
http://www.example.com/temp/20050428T14/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e.html
Then you can have a cron job that runs every hour that deletes everything in the temp directory generated 24 hours ago.
