Bug #16630 Updated: getlastmod() returns file access time, not modification time

ID: 16630 Updated by: jerry.zhao@vanderbilt.edu Reported By: johan@ekenberg.se Status: Open Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Operating System: Linux, glibc 2.2.3 PHP Version: 4.1.2, 4.3.0-dev New Comment: Different platform, same problem. Apache 1.3.24 PHP 4.1.2 Solaris 7 / Sun Sparc server gcc 2.95.2 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-09 08:27:52] johan@ekenberg.se I've built (statically) the latest snapshot (php4-200110220000 from snaps.php.net) with apache-1.3.24, and the results are exactly the same. Example here: http://www2.aname.net/~johan/getlastmod/getlastmod.php filemtime() works correctly as you suggest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-04 22:11:41] matslin@orakel.ntnu.no I've been browsing around trying to look for a cause of this behaviour... Currently its working like it should, both under Apache 1.3.24 / (current CVS head) (as module), under Apache 1.3.23 / (CVS from 9. March) (compiled static). It does however seem broken in Apache 2.0.35 (probably since apache2filter doesnt provide path_translated in the request_rec (or something, i'm not an apache2-expert or very used to the php-source)). Could you try compiling the current CVS and see if you're still experiencing this problem? I did get the same results as you got earlier (with 4.2.0 under Apache 2.0.35 (yes, i noticed you're running 1.3.23)), but after makeing and make installing the fresh version from cvs, i now get just a 'false' instead. I have the following test pages: Apache 1.3.23/PHP CVS from march http://home.e-mats.org/test-getlastmod.php Apache 1.3.24/Current CVS HEAD http://home.e-mats.org:809/test-getlastmod.php Apache 2.0.35/Current CVS HEAD http://home.e-mats.org:808/test-getlastmod.php The source (which pretty much should be explained from the page: http://home.e-mats.org/test-getlastmod.phps One more thing, if you could just try to use filemtime() with the same file, you would probably get the right results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-16 05:39:36] johan@ekenberg.se This is similar to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=14837 which was discarded with a "works in CVS". I'm not so sure it's solved that easily. Example page here: http://www.ekenberg.se/php_getlastmod/getlastmod.php The example shows the output from getlastmod() compared to "ls -l" and "ls -lu". There's also a link to phpinfo(). The bug only appears when using PHP as an Apache module. When running from the commandline the file modification time is shown correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16630&edit=1
