PHP delete file older than ..

[Porsche_maniak]

Each time the page loads,the file is deleted no matter the time...

<?php
 
$file = 'people.html';
    if ((time() - filemtime($file)) > ($days *300)) {
      unlink("$file");
    }
	if (file_exists($file)) {
   echo " ";
} else {
    $file = fopen($file, 'w') or die("Server Overloaded !");
}

?>

So i am wondering where is the fault ?

clean up your code a little!

function cleanFile($file)
{
    if(file_exists($file))
    {
        $time = filemtime($file);
        $day = (60*60*24);
        if($time < (time() - (300*$day)))
        {
            return unlink($file);
        }else
        {
            return file_get_contents($file); //OR UPDATE
        }
    }
    return false;
}
