Don't you need to close the statement after -exec ?

find /yourdir/tmp -mtime +1-exec rm {} \;

Oh yes, i forgot to close the statement. Thanks for the correction.

You want to delete all files from a folder, or want to delete files after x days from creation / last modified date?

You can go for "cronjob" for this task.hope you know about cronjob.

logic:
create one table in database.Where fields will be :
id, filePath, deleteDate, status

set cronjob task daily with one php file.
this php file will read table and delete file from filePath on deleteDate and update status.
