date stamp called from php

Pablo

there has to be a nice way to call the date.

as in on the site i want it to have last edited on .... Nov 3rd 2002 {anyother reasonable format would do tho} ... and it could be that last time that that file {or another file was updated}

Couldn't find this earlier:

[PHP]<?
echo date('y.m.d.H.i.s', filemtime($DOCUMENT_ROOT . $PHP_SELF));
?>[/PHP]

That'll print:

YY.MM.DD.HH.MM.SS
