<?php
/**
 * This deletes courses that were created but no file was ever uploaded, and
 * that were created previous to a specific date and last used previous to
 * another specific date (see $creation and $access)
 * Use this script with caution, as it will completely remove any trace of the
 * deleted courses.
 * Please note that this is not written with the inclusion of the concept ot
 * sessions. As such, it might delete courses but leave the course reference
 * in the session, which would cause issues.
 * Launch from the command line.
 * Usage: php delete_old_courses.php
