i need to get the modified date of a certain file in the directory
this gives me the modified date of the file this code is in.
to see what this code does you can look at this page
it gives me a expiration date of my online photo galleries.

<?php

// Values in days!!
$expirationDate = 20;
$expDate_DiscountByTotal = 3;
$expDate_DiscountByCopies = 3;
// ...starting from the last modification date of this file!

$startDate = filemtime($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);

$inXdays = date("F j, Y", $startDate + (606024 * $expirationDate));
echo "expirationDate = \"$inXdays\";\n";

$inXdays = date("F j, Y", $startDate + (606024 * $expDate_DiscountByTotal));
echo "expDate_DiscountByTotal = \"$inXdays\";\n";

$inXdays = date("F j, Y", $startDate + (606024 * $expDate_DiscountByCopies));
echo "expDate_DiscountByCopies = \"$inXdays\";\n";

If you want the modified time of a file, put the full path of the file into filemtime

$str = "/path/to/file";
filemtime($str);

As you already stated, this gives the modified time of the script you are in:

$startDate = filemtime($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);

The root of this question is a simple function call and passing a variable. If you don't know how to do that, I would suggest taking a basic programming class. If you do know how to program, did you bother to read the PHP manual for filemtime()?
