[Resolved] RSS pubDate using filemtime

[Jon7800]

I am using the following code for RSS Feed notification. Everything works great except I would like to replace the pubDate xml tag with the filemtime of the top directory. Currently it is using the current date/time [date("r")]and changes everytime it is refreshed .

I am having a bit of trouble doing this, everytime I try to define the filemtime it causes php to error out. Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

Current code:

$max_age = 14 24 60 * 60; // Fourteen days
$base_dir = '.';
$file_dir = $base_dir;

create_tree($base_dir, $file_dir, $max_age);

function create_tree($base_dir, $file_dir, $max_age)

{

$no_no_arr = array('.', '..', 'list.php', 'AlbumCover.jpg',
'AlbumInfo.txt', 'info.txt', 'WS_FTP.LOG',

'_Browse by genre', 'date.php', '-Unsorted', 'rss.php');
if ($handle = @opendir($file_dir)) {

while (false !== ($file = @readdir($handle))) {

if (!in_array($file, $no_no_arr)) {

$list[] = $file;

}

}

    foreach ($list as $value) { 
        if (is_dir($value)) { 
            $filepath = $base_dir . '/' . $file_dir . '/' . $value . '/'; 
            if ((filemtime($filepath) + $max_age) < time()) { 
                continue; 
            } 
            echo '<item>

<title>Artist: <i>' . $value . '</i>' . ' Updated</title>
<link>/genre/index.php?q=f&amp;f=%2FRock%2F' . $value . '</link>
<description>Albums for <b>' . $value . '</b> now include:<br />' . "\n";

            create_tree($base_dir, $file_dir . '/' . $value, $max_age);  

echo '</description>' . "\n";
echo '<pubDate>'. date("r") .'</pubDate>' . "\n";
echo'</item>' . "\n\n";

        } else {  

         echo '<br />'. $value . '' . "\n";  

        } 

    }  

    closedir($handle);  

}  

}

I don't see any code here that attempts to do so. I am guessing, based on a cursory reading of your code, that you should do something like this:

$mytime = filemtime($base_dir . $file_dir);

and then, later,

echo '<pubDate>'. date("r", $mytime) .'</pubDate>' . "\n";

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I was looking for.
I actually changed it to read the filepath [$mytime = filemtime($filepath);] to get the correct dates of the directory I was looking for. Thanks again!
