hello,
is it possible, to get the creation date of a file? So even if it's 
modified, to get the date it was created the first time?

thanks

Reading http://www.php.net/stat I don't think so.

Unix filesystems don't store file creation time. And there is no 
function to retrieve creation time in windows. You might be able to 
parse the output of dir command.

To Jay: Could you please remove **[SPAM]** when replying? Your mail 
client doesn't send references headers and that spam string breaks 
threading completely.

[PHP] File creation date.

2003-11-06 Thread Carles Xavier Munyoz Bald
Hi,
I want to write a PHP function for delete the files in a directory older than 
1800 seconds.
Is there any function for it ?

If not ...
How may I obtain the creation date of a file in PHP ?

Greetings.

Not directly.  I wouldn't build this into a web script, either (though
if you're simply planning to write your system script in php that's fine).
I'd run it with cron (say every 20 minutes) no matter what language I
used to write it.

There is a stat() function which should do you nicely.

Read this thread, too:
http://www.phparch.com/mailinglists/msg.php?a=701737s=Mike+Migurski+findsp=1

If you can get your hands on a September issue of php|architect, I had a
paragraph about this in my Tips 'n Tricks column.

How would you know about a file on someone's system before it was
implicitly sent you by user? Take a look at JavaScript, but I doubt
there will be a sure solution for it. Nothing is sure with
JavaScript except for it's cross-browser incompatibility :)

Not with PHP.
