last modification time of the included files

[lakilevi]

Hello.

I need to get in some way the maximum last modification time of my php files. The problem is that in many files I use include or require. So I need to know the last modification date of the included files.

 

Example:

 

inlude "config.php"

 

echo "Last modification time"

// here I should display the maximum last modification time of the actual file, and also of the file "config.php"

 

Which is the best way to do this? I don't want to change the code of the included files.

 

Thank you very much

You may want to look into the filemtime function.

Hello.

Thanks for your answer.

 

I have tried already the filemtime function, but if made a change in the included file (config.php) and made an echo filemtime() in the main file, than it took the last modification time of the main file only, not of the included file.

Then you are passing the wrong file name to the filetime() function.

The files aren't linked. I think you'll have to return the modification time of both files and check which is the most recent; then display that one.

You could loop over get_included_files looking for the most recently updated file.

$last_modified = filemtime("config.php"); 
print("Last Modified ");
print(date("m/j/y h:i", $last_modified));

Wau. Thank you very much! This I wanted. This takes also recursively  the included files of the included files. Super!

 

Thanks.
