I somehow accidentally posted this before finishing the title... Im trying to figure out how i could add a date-last-modified stamp to a page, but in a slightly more complicated way than normal.
I know I can add this to a page by using something similar to the following:
<?php echo date(“F d Y H:i:s”, getlastmod() ); ?>
but my problem is this: my pages are all being dynamically created, using 1 standard header, which includes a menu, a content file, and 1 standard footer, which contains site tracker info, and a copyright notice. the content of the site is kept in a completely separate area.
for example, my index page looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<?php require("./includes/header.php");?>
<?php include("./Index/contents.php");?>
<?php require("./includes/footer.php");?>
the idea is that I can just update the 'contents.php file on any given page, to update that page.
The problem is that the 'page last updated' section is located in the copyright area, and I can't move it, due to design restrictions. Is there a way for me to insert a general type function into the footer that will monitor when the appropriate 'contents.php' file has been modified, without adding any extra code to the 'contents.php' files themselves?
