ID: 16835 Comment by: donald@design.za.net Reported By: v.marco@libero.it Status: Closed Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: I am still getting the problem in version 4.2.3 touch() will not update my file time.. <?php $f = "./test"; touch($f); echo filectime($f)."<br>"; ?> always returns the same value in windows, but on a unix platform the time does change.
