I don't know if I'm just lazy or stupid (or both).
I went into a similar issue few weeks ago and my solution was to add a
function to delete files created in the last X hours (mine was 24), and call
it on the same script that creates the files.
Which means it tries to clean up old files every time it creates a new one.
Is that any good for you guys?
Regards,
Thiago

Right, but unfortunately, because it's audio that needs to
stream, it can't just be served like an image (think GD or
imagemagick) and then destroyed. There is no way to know how
long it will be before the client receives the entire file, and
it would prove to be too much to store in a reasonable buffer.
That's why I had to write it the way it is. The drawback
is that, yes, unless you're overwriting the file each time
(which, with high-traffic sites, would corrupt larger files
mid-download), you either have to have a script to unlink() the
files or a cron to remove them (or resort to a manual removal).
I'm all ears, eyes, and cerebellum if you've got an idea on
how to fix that though. The next phase should have better
speech, I'm just having a tough time with paid gigs now and
find no time to focus on the fun stuff really. I still don't
know why no one ever told us the truth that, no matter how much
we wanted to be Toys 'R' Us kids, the answer was unscrupulously
the same: tough nuts.
