php displaying last modification time

Hello,
Trying to get a php script to display when a web page was last modified.
My code is below, i'm getting a last modified date of dec. 31 1969 which is
wrong for one, and does not change if i modify the resulting file. The code
itself is in an include file, a footer file, which will be included at the
bottom of every page. Suggestions?
Thanks.
Dave.

<?

echo "This file was last modified: ";

$temp = pathinfo($PHP_SELF);

echo strftime("%A %B %d, %Y", filemtime($temp["basename"]));

?>

Maybe the error is here. Do you have register_globals = on?
If not, this should work for you:
$temp = pathinfo($SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

this should be $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] (note the underscore before SERVER)

Hello,
My thanks to everyone who helped with my last modification time issue.
In summary i did not have register_globals on and the code now is:

<?

echo "This file was last modified: ";

$temp = pathinfo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

echo strftime("%A %B %d, %Y", filemtime($temp["basename"]));

?>



Hope this helps someone and again thanks for the assist.

Dave.

Use $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] instead. PHP_SELF is the URI of the running
script. Your script would fail if some of letters in URI are in the wrong
case.
