Possible PEAR_Error values

Error message Description Solution
Filename '$file' seems to be a directory. The filename you gave the method does not reference a regular-file but a directory. Specify a correct filenamepath (eg. /my/file/path/foo.html, ../foo.html).
Could not get last-modification-date of '$file'. The last-modification date could not be determined by PHP. Reasons for this may be that your FTP-server does not support the used command or that you gave the function a non existent file as reference.

  • check the given file for existence

  • contact the FTP server's admin
Date-format failed on timestamp '$res'. The given format-string was not well formated. Check the documentation of the PHP function date().

Note

This function can not be called statically.

Example

Using mdtm()

   
<?php

  var_dump($test->mdtm('/foo/bar'));

  // returns the last modification time in german timeformat
  var_dump($test->mdtm('/foo/bar', 'd.m.Y, H:i'));

?>
