Need to delete log files using PHP

[jtinfo]

I have discovered that software I recently installed on my website creates small log files. I know how create cron jobs, but I'm not good at creating php from scratch.

Every time the software runs it creates this log file:

do_job.php.N

This is where N= a number that increases each time the job runs creating multiple log files ie. do_job.php.1, do_job.php.2, do_job.php.3 ...

I want to delete all the log files in the directory that are closed ie. delete do_job.php.*

Could someone help me with the php to do this? Then I'll put it into a cron.

Thanks.

One way:

<?php
exec('rm do_job.php.*');
?>

Another would be to [man]glob/man the directory for 'do_job.php.*' and loop through the resulting array of file names, [man]unlink/man'ing each in turn.

if your doing it from a cron, you don't need php at all just use the command bradgrafelman suggested.
