Migrating to WordPress

I am relatively new to WordPress and am in the process of changing several sites over from to this platform. One site I have uses a bit of code in in my current index.php to control uploaded images from my webcam. I am not sure where to place this code in the WordPress structure.

The webcam uploads a photo every 30 seconds and each photo has a time stamp so this code is used to delete older photos and rename the most recent photo so the website can display the most up to date image. I image a plugin would be best bet, but haven’t found one so need to find how and where to insert this code.

the code in question in index.php is:

<!-- PHP to fix web cam images -->
<?php
// Run from on directory above your FI... directory
// Change the next line for your snap directory
chdir ('webcamsandlinks/images/FI9900P_00626E6A54A2/snap'); 
$files = glob('*.jpg'); 
// Exit if there is not a new snapshot file
if(count($files) < 1){ 
   return 0;
 }
// Grab the first file and timestamp
$file = array_shift( $files);
$mTime = filemtime( $file);

// Check the other files and delete if older
foreach($files as $currFile){ 
  $currTime = filemtime($currFile);
  if( $currTime > $mTime){ 
    unlink($file); 
    $file = $currFile;  
    $mTime = $currTime;
 } else {unlink($currFile); }
 }
  
// Only the newest file remains
// Rename the snapshot file using the first 8 chars
rename($file, substr($file, 0, 8) . '.jpg'); 
?>
<!-- End PHP -->
