How would I make a "last updated" script?

[electricocean]

How could I make my page say: Page Last Updated: month day, year?

example:

Page Last Updated: January 1st, 2005

and would change every time the page is updated - just php, php + mysql, how would i do it?

thanks

If you're just dealing with files you can use file modification times:
echo 'Last modified on '.date("l dS of F Y h:i:s A", filemtime($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
If you're dealing with mysql, I'll let another taker answer, I'm off to bed.

You could try using SSI, for example: <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" --> should do the trick.

wait... I am confused...

will these scripts only say "Page Last Modified:" for the ceratin page that has that script on it, or will it say the last time any part of the site was modified...?

I forgot to say that

It will only show the modification date of those pages that contain the piece of code found above.
