filemtime() doesnt work...

[alojzjakob]

as the title says...

i use this function on my little social network to determine if someone is online or not.. but after server migration this doesnt work...

i tried both absolute and relative paths as parameters of function, but no result...

im on stoli, site is jakob.x10hosting.com/forum

Btw, you did great job after migration, everything is faster and better, congrats and thanx for that

thanks in advance,

Alojz

Could you post some code?
I just tested it on a friend's account on Boru and it works fine.

Are you getting error messages or wrong values?

Here is the code I used to test the function:

<?php

$m = date ("F d Y H:i:s.", filemtime( 'error_log' )); 

echo $m ;
 ?>

hmmm...

works like this you wrote, but i use just

$time_elapsed = date(U) - filemtime($pathtofile);

this gives me the value in seconds

and check if it is less than 600 (10 minutes)

it worked before server move...

here is my code

$wd=getcwd();
$wd1=$wd."/users/".$fr[$i]."_onoffstatus";
if ((date(U) - filemtime($wd1))<600){print "<img src=\"skin/friendon.png\">";}

For some reason it seems that the PHP clock and the filesystem clock do not agree. On Boru, they are about 3650 seconds apart. I manually edited error_log and then saved and then immediately ran:

<?php
$fm = filemtime( 'error_log' );
$m = date ("F d Y H:i:s.", $fm ); 

$u = date( U ) - $fm  ;
$now = date ("F d Y H:i:s." );
echo "File m time: $m <br />Diff: $u<br />Now: $now " ;
 ?>

I will leave a note for Corey/Bryon to check on it.

The time difference between Boru and its webservers has been corrected.

checked it today works fine now

thanks for support!
