Req #65717 [Com]: stat() should supply nano second granularity

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65717&edit=1 ID: 65717 Comment by: metamarkers at gmail dot com Reported by: addw at phcomp dot co dot uk Summary: stat() should supply nano second granularity Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: Any PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: What would be a use case of this? Is there something inherently wrong with unix timestamps? Hardware has millisecond latency, I don't understand where having granularity down to the CPU cycle would be significant.

If these are available stat() should return in the array 3 extra members : atimensec, ctimensec and mtimensec. The resolution available also depends on the underlying file system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65717&edit=1
