[RESOLVED] Is it possible to post upload time?

Kirsdarke

Hi there, and thanks in advance for taking the time to look at this thread.

I'm making a website for my friend who's the publisher for a university newspaper. I've already got a JScript date function that outputs the current date when a user views the site. Now I'm interested in somehow making a line on the page that displays the last time the website (or, failing that, the individual page) was updated, since it's important for people to know when the news was posted.

Is there a built-in function that PHP has that can output the time and date that a website was uploaded, or is there some way to code it, or do I need to store the date in a database and then manually change it every time I make a change to a page? Is it possible to get the most recent uploaded date to display on all the web pages when I upload just one (though this last option is not essential, as long as I can at least get it on the one particular page)?

Thanks again, I greatly appreciate any feedback.

You can use [man]filemtime/man, e.g.:

echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', filemtime(__FILE__));

Awesome! Thanks! I don't have time to try it out now, but I will later tonight, hopefully all goes well. Gonna leave the thread unresolved till tonight in case this gives me problems ^{^;}

It worked! Thanks a lot =)
Had to figure some details out with the date function, but it looks exactly how I wanted it to now. Thanks again!
