Use filemtime inside included file

[Anon]

I work on our company intranet and it uses header/footer files. The site was sitting at over 10,000 pages when we added php so we told the server to parse htm/html files as php to make life simpler.

My header/footer files are both *.htm respectively and they are being included with <? include ("......."); ?>. When I add the filemtime() to the footer file, it returns the date the footer file was modified - not the date the file that includes the footer was modified. I read somewhere else to use the clearstatcache() so I added it, however, I either did something wrong or it does not work because there is no change in the date being displayed.

How can I get a document last modified script into my footer.htm file so that I can include that on every page in the site with the correct date?

Please HEEEEELLLLLLPPP!

I'll assume you have a prepend file somewhere, in it, figure out what page you are currently on ($PHP_SELF,$REQUEST_URI, etc.. one of em will do the trick) and run the function on that, setting the result to a variable. Call that variable in footer and you got it.
