Get filemtime for most recently updated file in folder

Question

I have a folder with 4 files in it and I\'d like to pull the last modified time of the most recent one (which may not always be the same one). Is there a good way to do that

Answer 1

There is no need to iterate through the directory - filemtime will work for most servers, (depending on your configuration):

$LastMod = filemtime("/path/to/dir/.");

The last dot is needed to see the directory as a file and to actually get a last modification date of it.
