touch - Sets access and modification time of file
SYNOPSIS
bool touch (string $filename, [int $time = time()], [int $atime])
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
access time is always modified, regardless of the number of parameters.
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
