(PHP 4, PHP 5)

fileatime — Gets last access time of file

Description

int fileatime ( string $filename )

Examples

Example#1 fileatime() example

<?php

// outputs e.g.  somefile.txt was last accessed: December 29 2002 22:16:23.

$filename 'somefile.txt';
if (
file_exists($filename)) {
    echo 
"$filename was last accessed: " date("F d Y H:i:s."fileatime($filename));
}

?>

Notes

Note: The atime of a file is supposed to change whenever the data blocks of a file are being read. This can be costly performance-wise when an application regularly accesses a very large number of files or directories.
Some Unix filesystems can be mounted with atime updates disabled to increase the performance of such applications; USENET news spools are a common example. On such filesystems this function will be useless.

Tip

PHP 5.0.0 versiosta lähtien tämä funktio tukee myös joitakin URL tyyppejä. Katso myös List of Supported Protocols/Wrappers.
