Detect Page Changes

[sphinx]

Hello.

 

Would php be the right thing to use in regards to monitoring changes in html on certain pages, Basicly, I'd need it to be something like:

 

"Page last changed: 2 Days, 4 Hours, 34 Minutes and 13 Seconds ago."

 

What would I use for this?

 

Thanks

Not sure I understand exactly what you're trying to do.  How do you plan on going about this?  If I guessed correctly, you could make a hash of the page and check it against the old one.

echo "Page last changed: " .  date ("F d Y H:i:s.", getlastmod());

Or you can subtract it from time() and then use some simple division to get the days, hours, minutes, seconds.

How so?  If for the current page just use getlastmod().  If you want to do this for other pages use filemtime().  The filesystem knows when the file last changed.
