<?

$last_modified = filemtime("thepageyouwant.php");

print("Page Last Modified");
print(date("m/j/y h:i", $last_modified));

?>

I'm really new in php, so I want to ask, how I could do that to show something like that...
>> Page Last Modified 154364 seconds ago
or
>> Page Last Modified 59 hours ago

I hope you understood what I want to do...
Please help...:/

If I understand you right, what you're asking for is how to format the date function to what you want. Go here [php.net].

Or are you asking for how to determine the length of time since the last update?

[F8lsin]

NO, I need something like, in the <snip>
there should be
>> Updated 16571 sec. ago.
or similarly...
could anyone help me?

Try this:

$last_modified = time() - filemtime("thepageyouwant.php");

print("Page Last Modified $last_modified seconds ago");

Ok thanx, what's that I want, but now, how to show that in minutes or hours?

265 minutes ago
or
49 hours ago
?

Well how many seconds in a minute? divide result by 60!

hom many seconds in an hour? divide result by 3600!
