Search for txt files with a certain name and then delete them using PHP?

Question

Using the unlink function in php is it possible to search a directory with multiple folders for txt files with a certain name. In my case Newsfeed.txt

Where should I start with this ?

Great answer maxhb. Here's something a little more manual.

<?php

function unlink_newsfeed($checkThisPath) {
    $undesiredFileName = 'Newsfeed.txt';

    foreach(scandir($checkThisPath) as $path) {
        if (preg_match('/^(\.|\.\.)$/', $path)) {
            continue;
        }

        if (is_dir("$checkThisPath/$path")) {
            unlink_newsfeed("$checkThisPath/$path");
        } else if (preg_match( "/$undesiredFileName$/", $path)) {
            unlink("$checkThisPath/$path");
        }
    }
}

unlink_newsfeed(__DIR__);
