Modification date demo
I have written a moddate include file which returns the modification date of the current file.Here is what it returns for this page:
This script was last modified on: Monday, September 14, 2009 (Local time: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 14:00:00 +1000)
To implement this in your own pages, get the
script of the moddate.irev file, make a moddate.irev file,
change it to use your local time zone, save it in your includes folder,
and use it as follows:
<?rev
include "includes/moddate.irev"
?>
This works by looking at the $_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] parameter, which for this page is:
$_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]: /home/troz/troz.net/onrev/samples/moddate_demo.irev
The shell command: ls -l "/home/troz/troz.net/onrev/samples/moddate_demo.irev"
lists the details for the specified file.
-rw-r--r-- 1 troz troz 2191 Sep 14 2009 /home/troz/troz.net/onrev/samples/moddate_demo.irev
And the modification date is extracted from that line,
and can then be formatted in any way you wish,
remembering that sometimes the time will be shown and sometimes the year:
Sep 14 2009
For checking purposes, here is the data for every irev file in my samples folder:
