Chapter Six — File Functions (continued)
Overview
The GetFileModifiedTime function retrieves the last time a file was modified (written to) for a specified file, a Basic File or FolderEnumeration Object as a qword.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
qword = GetFileModifiedTime ( mixed file );
Parameters
file
A string containing a qualified file name and path. This parameter supports UTF encoding for filenames with Unicode characters. Or,
a handle to either a file (such as one opened with the OpenFile or CreateFile functions) an FTP connection object or a folder enumeration object.
Return Value
Returns a qword containing the file modification time in milliseconds since January 1, 1601 (UTC) or -1 on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.
Remarks
The returned time is always in UTC or Zulu time (Z). The resolution of the time value is dependent on the underlying file system.
For more information on the return value, see the Windows FILETIME structure in the Windows SDK. Note that opening a file with write permissions does not alter its modification date. To convert the return value to a string, use the FormatDate function. To retrieve the file modification time as a string, use the GetFileModifiedTimeString function.
Note that when retrieving times from an FTP connection, the file times are generally the local time for the specified server.
If the file parameter is not valid, the GetLastError function will return ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE or ERROR_FILE.
