I use this function in "MySQL Backup Pro" to keep in my backup folder copies of only the last 4 or 5 days. This function will keep the latest copies and delete all old ones. So use it at your own risk.


<?php

/**
* keep()    delete a backup file based on its name
*
* @param string $path    path without trailing slash at end
* @param integer $days    number of days to keep backups
* @return
**/
function keep($path = "", $days = 4){
    if (
is_dir($path)) {
       
$d = dir($path);
        while (
false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
            if (
$entry!="." and $entry!=".." and (ereg(".bz2$",$entry) or ereg(".gz$",$entry) or ereg(".sql$",$entry))) {
                if ((
filemtime($path."/".$entry)) < (strtotime('-'.$days.' days'))) {
                   
unlink($path."/".$entry);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
?>


Usage Example
<?php
keep
("backup",5);
?>
