Unless he wants filectime, for when the file was created, even if it's
been modified in the past week...

"older" could mean that, in some contexts...

I think finding all the .txt.asc files would best be handled by
http://php.net/glob unless your PHP version is too old and you need to
http://php.net/opendir and http://php.net/readdir to look at each file
in turn...
