Can any body tell me what is the PHP code to replace this simple javascript?

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write(document.lastModified);
//-->
</script>

replacing Javascript with PHP is a bit difficult - since Javascript is executed on the Client (Browser) and PHP on the Server, so the two can do different things.

I think it's not that easy. When the content is database-generated (that's why people use PHP), the date given by this function will change, only when the script is modified, but not when the database contains new data. So a bulletin board like this might say "last modified Feb 12th, 2002" althought people post new messages every day.

hmm ... that's true ... but doesn't the JavaScript code return only the last-modified date of the "script file" too ?

If the file is static, the JavaScript-solution would give the right answer. For a generated page, I donīt know what result it would give - probably not a usefull one.

that's no problem just need the current file date for the file version
example: v 1.5 [ 12/07/2002 ]
