Hello linuxuser_

Hope following example may help you(for bash). Here is a command named stat you can check by man stat for more information on same. Lets say we have 2 files named file2 and file33. Now let us compare their modify timings.

Code:
val1=`stat file2 | awk '/Modify/ {print $2}'`
echo $val1
2014-09-01
val2=`stat file33  | awk '/Modify/ {print $2}'`
echo $val2
2014-09-03
 
if [[ "$val1" == "$val2" ]]
then
echo "timings are equal."
else
echo "timings are NOT equal."
fi
timings are NOT equal.

Let me know if I can help further. By this we can compare the timings of files and check if files have been modified or not for today's date.

NOTE: I have tested this in bash environment.

Thanks,
R. Singh

maxdb_stmt_execute - Executes a prepared Query

       Procedural style

SYNOPSIS
bool maxdb_stmt_execute (resource $stmt) DESCRIPTION
Object oriented style bool maxdb_stmt::execute (void ) The maxdb_stmt_execute(3) function executes a query that has been previously prepared using the maxdb_prepare(3) function represented by the $stmt resource. When executed any parameter markers which exist will automatically be replaced with the appropiate data. If the statement is UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT, the total number of affected rows can be determined by using the maxdb_stmt_affected_rows(3) function. Likewise, if the query yields a result set the maxdb_fetch(3) function is used. Note When using maxdb_stmt_execute(3), the maxdb_fetch(3) function must be used to fetch the data prior to preforming any additional queries. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Object oriented style <?php $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } $maxdb->query("CREATE TABLE temp.mycity LIKE hotel.city"); /* Prepare an insert statement */ $query = "INSERT INTO temp.mycity (zip, name, state) VALUES (?,?,?)"; $stmt = $maxdb->prepare($query); $stmt->bind_param("sss", $val1, $val2, $val3); $val1 = '11111'; $val2 = 'Georgetown'; $val3 = 'NY'; /* Execute the statement */ $stmt->execute(); $val1 = '22222'; $val2 = 'Hubbatown'; $val3 = 'CA'; /* Execute the statement */ $stmt->execute(); /* close statement */ $stmt->close(); /* retrieve all rows from myCity */ $query = "SELECT zip, name, state FROM temp.mycity"; if ($result = $maxdb->query($query)) { while ($row = $result->fetch_row()) { printf("%s (%s,%s) ", $row[0], $row[1], $row[2]); } /* free result set */ $result->close(); } /* remove table */ $maxdb->query("DROP TABLE temp.mycity"); /* close connection */ $maxdb->close(); ?> Example #2 Procedural style <?php $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } maxdb_query($link, "CREATE TABLE temp.mycity LIKE hotel.city"); /* Prepare an insert statement */ $query = "INSERT INTO temp.mycity (zip, name, state) VALUES (?,?,?)"; $stmt = maxdb_prepare($link, $query); maxdb_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "sss", $val1, $val2, $val3); $val1 = '11111'; $val2 = 'Georgetown'; $val3 = 'NY'; /* Execute the statement */ maxdb_stmt_execute($stmt); $val1 = '22222'; $val2 = 'Hubbatown'; $val3 = 'CA'; /* Execute the statement */ maxdb_stmt_execute($stmt); /* close statement */ maxdb_stmt_close($stmt); /* retrieve all rows from myCity */ $query = "SELECT zip, name, state FROM temp.mycity"; if ($result = maxdb_query($link, $query)) { while ($row = maxdb_fetch_row($result)) { printf("%s (%s,%s) ", $row[0], $row[1], $row[2]); } /* free result set */ maxdb_free_result($result); } /* remove table */ maxdb_query($link, "DROP TABLE temp.mycity"); /* close connection */ maxdb_close($link); ?> The above example will output something similar to: 11111 (Georgetown,NY) 22222 (Hubbatown,CA) SEE ALSO
