[selva]

Hai All,

 

      In php how can i get last modified date of a give web page . I have tried to get last modified from the header but for some pages the server of that webpage doesn't returns lastmodified date.How can i do this with php ?

 

  Thanks in advance......

in your table insert a new column date.

 

when ever you update your content with your update query, the same time update the date column.

 

$today = date();

Dont think thats what Selva is asking, i think they want other peoples last modified, and basically if its not returned, unless its on the page somewhere i dont think you can get it!

Yeah this isn't as straight forward as it sounds. Consider that a lot of web sites generate content dynamically, never touching the file.

are the pages being checked static pages or are they being populated via php code and the information is extracted from a database? If they're just static pages, try using filemtime. I've used this to check the last modified date of static files and it works great.
