note 115291 added to splfileinfo.getctime

A file's ctime is it's inode change time. The inode changes when file metadata changes (for example when file permissions change). The inode also changes whenever the file's contents change, but since the inode changes for other reasons, it's more accurate to use mtime to get the age of the contents of a file. See SPLFileInfo::getMTime Also, please note ctime is not creation time. (Most UNIX-like filesystems do not record a file's creation time.) ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 208.247.73.130 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/splfileinfo.getctime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115291 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115291/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115291/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115291/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115291/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115291/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115291/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115291 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115291 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
