ID: 2155 Updated by: jimw Reported By: seth@psy.au.dk Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: date takes an int, false gets converted to 0, and that is 1.1.1970. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1999-08-25 17:24:35] seth@psy.au.dk The following code fragment should be self-explanatory $dbtime=date("d-m-Y", filemtime("/var/lib/mysql/sample/DBase.ISD")); print "(Databases last updated: " . $dbtime . ")n" Recently I moved the script to another machine, where the file named in filemtime did not exist. The result: (Databases last updated: 01-01-1970) No big deal. But maybe date() should respond to whatever filemtime() returns ( "false" according to the man page) with an error message.
