Below programs illustrate the DirectoryIterator::getCTime() function in PHP:
Program 1:
<?php // Create a directory Iterator $directory = new DirectoryIterator(dirname( __FILE__ ));
// Loop runs while directory is valid while ( $directory ->valid()) {
// Check if the element is directory
if ( $directory ->isDir()) {
// Store the current element
$file = $directory ->current();
// Display the file name and
// inode change time
echo $file ->getFilename() . " | CTime: "
. $directory ->getCTime() . "<br>" ;
}
// Move to the next element
$directory ->next();
} ?> |
Output:
. | CTime: 1574350718 .. | CTime: 1574350715 dashboard | CTime: 1574350718 img | CTime: 1574350718 webalizer | CTime: 1574350718 xampp | CTime: 1574350718
Program 2:
<?php // Create a directory Iterator $directory = new DirectoryIterator(dirname( __FILE__ ));
// Loop runs for each element of directory foreach ( $directory as $dir ) {
// Store the current element of directory
$file = $directory ->current();
// Display the key, filename and
// its inode change time
echo $dir ->key() . " => " .
$file ->getFilename() . " | CTime: " .
$dir ->getCTime() . "<br>" ;
} ?> |
Output:
0 => . | CTime: 1574350718 1 => .. | CTime: 1574350715 2 => applications.html | CTime: 1574350724 3 => bitnami.css | CTime: 1574350724 4 => dashboard | CTime: 1574350718 5 => favicon.ico | CTime: 1574350724 6 => geeks.PNG | CTime: 1574478578 7 => gfg.php | CTime: 1574351394 8 => img | CTime: 1574350718 9 => index.php | CTime: 1574350723 10 => webalizer | CTime: 1574350718 11 => xampp | CTime: 1574350718
