I've just upgraded to PHP 4.1.0 and I have code on my site (Linux/Apache) that displays when the page was last modified:

<? echo(date("d-M-Y H:i:s", getlastmod() )); ?>

This used to work like a champ.  However, I noticed after upgrading that the date/time stamp it displays is that of the last _access_, not modification.

Thus, I'm *expect* the date as shown by:
  $ ls -l index.php
Instead, I'm *seeing* the date as shown by:
  $ ls -lu index.php

I didn't notice it in the bug-fix list for PHP 4.1.1.  I didn't see it in the PHP Reported Bug List.

Works fine in CVS.

It also seems that getlastmod() doesn't work under Novell with Apache 1.3.27 and PHP-4.2.4-dev (the latest available), might be worth checking out...

I don?t see how the status could be "closed".

My ISP runs:
PHP 4.3.1
Apache 1.3.27
Slackware Linux 2.4.18

And the problem remains. I don?t get the correct timestamp out of getlastmod() until i do a "touch filename".

Something else is wrong here, I have this problem on only one system running 4.3.4, the others work correctly.

Hmm, seems sapi_get_stat is returning the wrong thing. 

I have this problem with Apache 1.3.26(debian).

I've checked this with "php test.php" and it is correct, it is the current time through apache.

No problems with Apache/2.0.47 (Fedora).

I recently had the same problem. It worked fine long before but then I set up some virtual hosts. Since then getlastmod() reports wrong modification times.
