hi all,
i’ve been trying to use filemtime() to get the modified date of a remote URL (ie http://website.com/blah.sql) and i keep getting an error that I guess has to do with the limitations of accessibility. is there any way to get around this issue?
thanks a lot for your help!
filemtime is not supported with http as there is no way to realy acces the modification time of a file via http.
but there is a way around:
access the file though a stream
http://php.net/stream
get the value of the "Last-Modified: "-header. and pass it on to strtotime.
thanks for your help! i will try that out.
on http://de.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.http.php there is an example how to get the "Location: "-header. maybe that helps u.
oh thanks, that’s a really helpful link.
