stephan_pieri Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hiya guys. Im new to this forum and also to the PHP world. So far, what i am looking for is a way to read the properties of a folder on my server to find the last-modified' date. In the end, i would like to display a date and time on my page saying something like "this album was last modified on DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM" I have done loads of searching, but so far i have only found how to check a files properties, which i tried to change a bit for use with directories...but failed miserably. If somebody could please post a bit of code for me, or even point me in the right direction in search terms i would much appreciate it. i appologise if this is in the wrong section Stephan Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82244-how-to-get-the-last-modified-date-of-a-folder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
chigley Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Perhaps the filemtime() function?? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82244-how-to-get-the-last-modified-date-of-a-folder/#findComment-418001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmin Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 The directory will be seen as a file, you can use the filesystem functions on it. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php chingley has the function you are looking for.
