Read docs!
You too! The OP wanted a way to "check the age of all files". The
fileatime function will return when the file was last accessed.
Accessing a file is not usually deemed to affect its age, modifying it
is. The filemtime function is what the OP wants.
Unless he wants filectime, for when the file was created, even if it's
been modified in the past week...
"older" could mean that, in some contexts...
I think finding all the .txt.asc files would best be handled by
http://php.net/glob unless your PHP version is too old and you need to
http://php.net/opendir and http://php.net/readdir to look at each file
in turn...

something like:
$access = fileatime (c:\path\to\file);//assuming windows server
if ((time()-$access)>(7*24*60*60)){
do whatever with old files
}
off the top of my head.
There are other ways to do it.

How would I use fileatime to check if the file is older then 7 days? I have a directory with .txt and .txt.asc files. What I want to do is.. Check the age of all files ending in .txt.asc and if the file *.txt.asc is older then 7 days delete thatfile.txt.asc and also thatfile.txt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
