Cheap and dirty example for cleaning a directory of files so many seconds old.
function cleantmp() {
$seconds_old = 3600;
$directory = "/var/tmp";
if( !$dirhandle = @opendir($directory) )
return;
while( false !== ($filename = readdir($dirhandle)) ) {
if( $filename != "." && $filename != ".." ) {
$filename = $directory. "/". $filename;
if( @filemtime($filename) < (time()-$seconds_old) )
@unlink($filename);
}
}
}
unlink
(PHP 4, PHP 5)

ggarciaa's post above has one small error, it will ignore file and directory strings that are evaluated as false (ie. "0")
Fixed code is below (false !==)

// A short but powerfull recursive function

//
// $dir = the target directory
// $DeleteMe = if true delete also $dir, if false leave it alone
function SureRemoveDir($dir, $DeleteMe) {

@rmdir($dir);

Here is simple function that will find and remove all files (except "." ones) that match the expression ($match, "*" as wildcard) under starting directory ($path) and all other directories under it.
function rfr($path,$match){
static $deld = 0, $dsize = 0;
$dirs = glob($path."*");
$files = glob($path.$match);
foreach($files as $file){
if(is_file($file)){
$dsize += filesize($file);
unlink($file);
$deld++;
}
}
foreach($dirs as $dir){
if(is_dir($dir)){
$dir = basename($dir) . "/";
rfr($path.$dir,$match);
}
}
return "$deld files deleted with a total size of $dsize bytes";
}

A work around for the Permission Denied problem.
I used ftp_connect() then ftp_delete() to erase files which unlink could not erase due to permision problems

If you get an error while deleting a file from the system, check who is the owner of the file. For example if you move to another system and the owner is 'nobody' then the owner should be nobody for that file on the new system.If you delete as another user, you will get an error.

Just to be a bit more accurate to the post of "jchase at solidmark dot com":
On unixoide systems you only need write permission for the directory to delete a file. The permissions of the file are nonrelevant.
You need file permissions if you want to change the file data or to read the data.

[Editor's note: A suggestion for a work-around was submitted by argistof at gmail dot com: You can use the recursive option (see man chmod) when chmodding, for instance 'chmod 777 directory/ -R'. Be aware though, this will change the permissions of all files and folders in the diectory.]
Just a note which you probably all know, but I didn't, and it might save another poor sap some unnecessary time:
I was doing unlink() and fopen() on a file and got a permission denied error, even after chmoding the file to 0777.
The folder that contains the file must ALSO have write permission. Took a headache to find this out.
Hope this helps someone :)

Actually you should use "@unlink" rather than testing with file_exists. The former is atomic, whereas the latter can break if you can't guarantee only one process will try to delete a given file at a time.

before you could unlink a file created which uses a handle e.g.,
$handle = sqlite('temp.db');
unset($handle); first befofe
unlink($handle);
to avoide permission denied error.

To delete all files of a particular extension, or infact, delete all with wildcard, a much simplar way is to use the glob function. Say I wanted to delete all jpgs .........
<?php
foreach (glob("*.jpg") as $filename) {
echo "$filename size " . filesize($filename) . "\n";
unlink($filename);
}
?>

To delete files using wildcards:
<?
function delfile($str)
{
foreach(glob($str) as $fn) {
unlink($fn);
}
}
?>
