<?php

$directory = 'path/to/backups/directory';

$handle = opendir($directory) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
  if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && fileatime($file) > $time) {
    $time = fileatime($file);
    $lastModifiedFile = $file;
  }
}

closedir($handle);
echo $lastModifiedFile;
