After calling touch() on a file with an access time specified, the access time is set to the current time. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $file = 'C:\\test.txt'; $mtime = filemtime($file); $atime = fileatime($file); $newtime = mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2009); $result1 = touch($file, $mtime, $newtime); $result2 = ( $atime != fileatime($file) ); var_dump($result1); var_dump($result2); ?> Expected result: ---------------- On the first run, we should expect the file C:\test.txt to have an access time of January 1st, 2009, and this expected PHP output: bool(true) bool(true) Actual result: -------------- Instead, the file C:\test.txt will have an access time of whenever the script ran, and this is the PHP output we get: bool(true) bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48454&edit=1
