By amylee:

$path = dirname(__FILE__).'/files'; 
  if ($handle = opendir($path)) { 

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
        if ((time()-filectime($path.'/'.$file)) < 86400) {  // auto-deletion every 24 hours 
          if (strripos($file, '.txt') !== false) { //deletes particular file extension 
            unlink($path.'/'.$file); 
          } 
        } 
    }
