Find files in folders and subfolders that were created on the current date

I am trying to find files that were created today. I found most of my answer in other posts, but can't quite get it right. The code below echos all of the files instead of just those that were created today. Any suggestions? Thanks.

$di = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('/documents/listings');
foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($di) as $filename => $file) 
{

    if (date ("m-d-Y", filemtime($file)) == date("m-d-Y")) 

    { echo $filename . '<br/>'; }

}

First of all, about function filemtime, it returns: file modification time.
But also exists function filectime, it returns: inode change time of file.
As i found filectime more better for your question, but it really returns files not only created today but also edited today.

My code:

<?php

$path = dirname(__FILE__);

$objects = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
    new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path),
    RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST
);
foreach ($objects as $file => $object) {
    $basename = basename($file);
    if ($basename == '.' or $basename == '..') {
        continue;
    }
    if (is_dir($file)) {
        continue;
    }
    if (date('Y-m-d') === date('Y-m-d', filectime($file))) {
        echo $file . PHP_EOL;
    }
}

if (!is_dir($file) && date ("m-d-Y", filemtime($file)) == date("m-d-Y"))

Maybe you only want to display the files without the directories? Try this for condition.
