PHP & getlastmod()

[wscreate]

I was using "getlastmod()" in my site and it recently stopped working. Now it shows "Last update on December 31 1969 19:00:00" rather than the last date I updated the page.

Here is the code.....

<?
$Lastmodified = date ("F d Y H:i:s.", getlastmod());
print "Last update on $Lastmodified";
?>

The only thing that changed recently is that I changed my PHP install to run as CGI rather than as a module.

Specs:

PHP 4.2.3
Apache 1.3.28
Redhat Linux 7.2 OS

Any idea why I cannot get this function to work properly? It worked fine for over a year and suddenly, not.

I've RTFM and implemented the code correctly. Anyone?

As a temporary fix, I used the following code... to get the last modification time....

<?php

$filename = 'index.html';
if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo "Site Updated On " . date ("F d, Y g:i a", filemtime($filename));
print " EDT";
}
?>

However, I still don't know why "getlastmod();" stopped working. I guess it's a big friggin mystery.

I few years ago when I had php as CGI I noticed that some scripts didn't work as I want it to work I don't know why 🙁

then I installed php as module and everything started to work fine 😃

try to install php as module 😉

Thanks Floodboy, but I am using cgi as a binary so that I can use phpsuexec which gives me an ability to better track abuse on my server.
