Seems to work with directories as well on my Win32 box.
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
ftp_mdtm — Returns the last modified time of the given file
$ftp_stream
, string $remote_file
)ftp_mdtm() gets the last modified time for a remote file.
Note:
Not all servers support this feature!
Note:
ftp_mdtm() does not work with directories.
ftp_streamThe link identifier of the FTP connection.
remote_fileThe file from which to extract the last modification time.
Returns the last modified time as a Unix timestamp on success, or -1 on error.
Example #1 ftp_mdtm() example
<?php
$file = 'somefile.txt';
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// get the last modified time
$buff = ftp_mdtm($conn_id, $file);
if ($buff != -1) {
// somefile.txt was last modified on: March 26 2003 14:16:41.
echo "$file was last modified on : " . date("F d Y H:i:s.", $buff);
} else {
echo "Couldn't get mdtime";
}
// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
When trying to get the modified time of a file that has spaces in it, ftp_mdtm will fail on some FTP servers. If this happens, surround the file name with quotes.
$file_name = "my index.html";
$file_modtime = ftp_mdtm($connection, '"'.$file_name.'"')
