note 42040 added to function.filemtime

I use filemtime() to display a webcam image ONLY when it has been recently uploaded. This code is useful for those who use webcams and do not want to change any php code when the cam comes online. It prevents the old image from remaining on your site out of date, keeping your site 'fresh' and tidy. You could also use this code to display a 'my webcam is online/offline' image. <?php $webcam_image="images/site/cam.jpg"; // Image to display $offline_image="images/site/im_offline.jpg"; // Image to display when offline (optional) $keep_webcam_alive=1; // Maximum age of file (in hours) // Display image if 'young' enough if ( (time()-filemtime($webcam_image) )<60*60*$keep_webcam_alive){ echo "<img src='$webcam_image'>"; // Could also display another image // informing users the cam is online } else { if ($offline_image){ echo "<img src='$offline_image'>"; } } ?> Cheers Mase http://www.supercrab.com (php skills?) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filemtime.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42040 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42040&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42040&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
