I have a directory listing in PHP. I want to be able to display the date of the last modified file in there, on another page. If I sort the array and get filemtime, would it be possible to put this in a variable and have it be referenced in another page’s php? If not, how would I go about obtaining this?
I do not know anything about PHP, so please forgive if this is a silly question.
I hope this was what you want 8)
[php]<?php
session_start();
$handle = opendir('.');
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if (is_file($file)) {
$modified = filemtime($file);
$files[$modified] = $file;
}
}
closedir($handle);
krsort($files);
$_SESSION['recent_file'] = array_shift($files);
echo $_SESSION['recent_file'];
?>[/php]
If you want to keep a log of this and have a reference. The best way is to submit this info to mysql. You can keep many records there.
