Date Uploaded to Server?
Hey....
Basically what I'm doing is opening a dir, displaying all contents, and I want to display a "Posted on: (date)" next to it. I'm using PHP.
I checked php.net, and found nothing of use...but I know in the FTP programs it tells you file size, and date modified...
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Nevermind! I found it!
<?phpgetmtime($file);
?>
It returns a date string, formattable by date(), and returns FALSE if there is no data

Usually for comments the time is included in the file when the comment is made, or in a database. You may find that the getmtime() function doesn't return the right time for the document depending on where the function is called (and if the document is included in another or contains includes). Just FYI.

It doesnt' really matter all that much....I just want to give people an idea of what order they were posted in. Its for videos and songs in zip files...and new ones come on all the time, so to just make it simple...that's good enough. No databases necessary.

Just remember PHP time works off the server time, so if your not near your server (location) it could be out by an hour or two.
My host for example is 17 hours out from my local time.
