[PHP] Problem with filemtime

2007-07-31 Thread Kevin Murphy 
I'm running the following script (simplified for discussion) to  
create a CSV file. My problem here is that the first filemtime and  
the last filemtime always equal each other. What I am trying to get  
is the filemtime ($new_last_modified) of the file that was just  
executed 3 lines earlier. Is there something I need to do  
differently? I tried putting a sleep(20) after the fclose, but that  
didn't seem to help.


$csv_file = myFile.csv;
$last_modified_csv = filemtime($csv_file);

$fh = fopen($csv_file, 'w') or die(can't open file);
fwrite($fh, Data Goes Here);
fclose($fh);

$new_last_modified = filemtime($csv_file);

The data returned by filemtime is cached. Use clearstatcache to clear 
the cache (http://php.net/clearstatcache).

add a clearstatcache() in here.

(and sometimes just for because you might want to emit a buffer, a 
flush();

 $new_last_modified = filemtime($csv_file);
