PHP Last Updated Script
Written by The Geekette on September 17, 2008 – 4:09 pmPosted in PHP |
If you are using PHP and you would like a quick “Last Updated”line to be on the page, just place the following script in your html:
<?php date_default_timezone_set(”EST”); echo date (”Y-m-j h:i:s A (T)”, getlastmod()); ?>
The result will look like:
2008-09-11 07:37:23 PM (EST)
Or, if the command with the default time zone in it does not work, this one should do the same:
<?php echo date (”Y-m-j h:i:s A (T)”, getlastmod()); ?>
The result will look like:
2008-09-11 07:37:23 PM (EST)

I wouldn’t use getlastmod because depending on how PHP and Apache were set up, it might not work correctly - see the PHP manual for details.
I’d use this instead:
echo date (”Y-m-j h:i:s A (T)”,filemtime($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']));

Very nice Sarah, thank you.
I know that I had to check to make sure my apache mods were active for that, but this is a great tip to others who might not have the ability to change apache and php configs.
