It seems that this behaviour has changed. According to my test page (http://www.planlos.de/test.php), filemtime(directory) does return the last modification time of the directory itself, not of the newest file in it. Too bad - i just wanted to use it for setting a "recently changed" icon in front of the directory link :-) Any pointer to an alternative way appreciated. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filemtime.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+19033 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+19033 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+19033
