help with cache file-deleting script

[marcnyc]

Hello, I am trying to make a script that I can run via Cron to delete all the files in a specific cache folder.
I have this:

<?php
$files = array();
$index = array();
$yesterday = strtotime('yesterday');

if ($handle = opendir('cache_chaindlk')) {
	clearstatcache();
	while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
   		if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
   			$files[] = $file;
			$index[] = filemtime( 'cache_chaindlk/'.$file );
   		}
	}
  	closedir($handle);
}
asort( $index );

foreach($index as $i => $t) {
	if($t < $yesterday) {
		@unlink('cache_chaindlk/'.$files[$i]);
	}

}
?>

Doesn't seem to work.

try:

$dir= 'cache_chaindlk';//set to full server path
$seconds=  24 * 60 * 60;
$files= scandir($dir);
foreach($files as $num=>$fname){
	if(file_exists($dir . $fname) && ((time() - filemtime($dir . $fname)) > $seconds)){
		unlink($dir . $fname);

}
}

I added a few slashes and did this:

$dir= getcwd().'/cache_chaindlk';//set to full server path 
$seconds= 24 * 60 * 60; 
$files= scandir($dir); 
foreach($files as $num=>$fname){ 
	if(file_exists($dir.'/'.$fname) && ((time() - filemtime($dir.'/'.$fname)) > $seconds)){ 
		unlink($dir.'/'.$fname);
		echo 'Deleting '.($dir.'/'.$fname).'...<br />';
	} 
} 

Seems to be working, if it doesn't I'll report back in half hour when it's goes through all 5000 cache files...

Thanks for your help!
