I wrote this php script to delete old files older than 24 hrs, but it deleted all the files including newer ones:
<?php
$path = 'ftmp/';
if ($handle = opendir($path)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ((time()-filectime($path.$file)) < 86400) {
if (preg_match('/.pdf$/i', $file)) {
unlink($path.$file);
}
}
}
}
?>
