DESCRIPTION
Attempts to set the access and modification times of the file named in the $filename parameter to the value given in $time. Note that the

If the file does not exist, it will be created.
PARAMETERS

o $time
- The touch time. If $time is not supplied, the current system time is used.
o $atime
