PHP: path format to exclude all subfolders

[phidias81]

Hello, I'm installing a security script, but I don't know anything about PHP. I installed correctly the script and put it to execute with a crone job. the problem is that I would like to exclude some folders from being scanned with the respective parameters but I can't manage.
These are the instructions

->excludeFolders( array folders )
This method can be used to exclude specific folders from being
checked. Each folder name must start with an existing entry in
CheckFolder. For example if CheckFolder is './public_html' then
to exclude the images folder you would specify
excludeFolders( array('./public_html/images') )

I want to exclude the folder "cache" and all of its subdirectories, and the folder "backup".
I've tried randomly for hours with

Code: Select all

array('./public_html/My-User/cache', './public_html/My-User/backup')
array('/public_html/My-User/cache', /public_html/My-User/backup')
array('public_html/My-User/cache', 'public_html/My-User/backup')
array('./public_html/My-User/cache/*', './public_html/My-User/backup')
array('/public_html/My-User/cache/*', /public_html/My-User/backup')
array('public_html/My-User/cache/*', 'public_html/My-User/backup')
array(My-User/cache/', My-User/backup')

But none is working.
What's the correct string I should insert to exclude these ddirectories? Thank you
