[Platero]

Hi, how can I get the most recent dated file (or the last
created/modified) in a specified directory?

Thanks

You can use scandir() to read all entries and filemtime() or stat() to get
the modification time of each entry.
Cheers, Peter

Now just write that simple algorythm : )

This is how to get file motification date
<?php
// outputs e.g. somefile.txt was last modified: December 29 2002
22:16:23.

$filename = 'somefile.txt';
if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo "$filename was last modified: " . date ("F d Y H:i:s.",
filemtime($filename));
}
?>
