How can a PHP script be created to automatically delete a virtual area with software after 24 hours?

To automatically delete a virtual area with software after 24 hours, you can create a PHP script that utilizes a cron job to run a scheduled task. The script can check the creation time of the virtual area and delete it if it has been 24 hours since its creation. 

<?php
// Set the directory path to the virtual area
$directory = '/path/to/virtual/area';

// Get the creation time of the directory
$creationTime = filectime($directory);

// Calculate the current time
$currentTime = time();

// Check if 24 hours have passed since creation
if ($currentTime - $creationTime >= 86400) {
    // Delete the virtual area
    system('rm -rf ' . $directory);
}
?>
