       changed.

PARAMETERS

	      o $filename
		- Path to the file.

	      <?php
	      // outputs e.g.  somefile.txt was last modified: December 29 2002 22:16:23.

	      $filename = 'somefile.txt';
	      if (file_exists($filename)) {
		  echo "$filename was last modified: " . date ("F d Y H:i:s.", filemtime($filename));
	      }
	      ?>

ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
	Upon failure, an E_WARNING is emitted.

NOTES

	      Note that time resolution may differ from one file system to another.

       Note

	      The results of this function are cached. See clearstatcache(3) for more details.

       Tip

	      As  of  PHP  5.0.0,  this function can also be used with some URL wrappers. Refer to "Supported Protocols and Wrappers" to determine
	      which wrappers support stat(3) family of functionality.
