I found the exact same question here.

But it isn't working for me. I've modified it a bit, manipulated it, and I can't figure it out. I'm trying to remove rows that are over a day old. Here is my code:

if (isset($_POST['prune'])) {

    $sql = "DELETE FROM logs WHERE time < date('now', '-1 days')";
    mysql_query($sql);

    echo 'Logs older than one day removed.';    

    }

Fairly simple question I suppose, but its bugging the hell out of me. I would appreciate any help.

In case it makes a difference, the column is a TIMESTAMP type.
