Or, you could include a function in the script that updates/queries the
database so that the first thing that happens is that all records more
than x days old are deleted.

If you don't want to run that every time the page loads, you could put
it in a if(today == Monday) or whatever...

As long as users load the page, the database maintenance gets done...
