$$ for advice only

I will pay $25. for advice on this problem:

- How to find the original date for any web page, .html/.php/etc
- How to determine when a dynamic page was first updated with specific content.

Please message me with your ideas along with your payment info. Payment is only for complete information.

Thanks

 

You can find the last time it was changed, though not sure about original time it was created.

Check out the following functions:
filectime()
filemtime()

As for the other problem could you explain what you mean a little more?

Cheers :]

 

Well first off, I should have mentioned we want to detect the original date on remote pages, not my own server.

On the second question, if we find the date of when a dynamic page was created, how can we tell when the content was first placed on that page? For instance there might be a new article placed on a dynamic page daily. If I wanted to find out when a certain article was placed there, how would we do that?

Using a search result or server header results etc.. Archive.org only shows results from 6+ months old... I'll pay for a solution that would get me the approximate date if that's all we can do.

Thanks

 

Here's a little script I wrote to get the last modification date of remote files, and an explication why it may not work with all PHP files.

I didn't even think about doing it like that, kudos for a neat script :]

 

So far that's the best answer, I've pm'd you for payment info

** Still looking for info on how to determine the date - even approximate date of a php page that we have no previous info on. Possibly using search engine cache etc.

Still looking for this 2nd part of the answer and will pay another $25. for a good solution.
