Page last updated/saved datestamp on web page?
I'm trying to display a datestamp on each webpage, to show when it was last updated/saved.
I'm using the following code:
function pagedatestamp() {
datUpdated = new Date(document.lastModified) ;
datDate = datUpdated.getDate() ;
datMonth = datUpdated.getMonth() + 1 ;
x = datUpdated.getYear() ;
var datYear = x % 100;
datYear += (datYear < 38) ? 2000 : 1900;
document.write(datDate + "/" + datMonth + "/" + datYear) ;
}
How do I go about achieving this, in javascript or even with php?

Here is a function that will help you out, maybe you can learn from it.
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/lastmod.html
Code JavaScript:function lastMod() { var x = new Date (document.lastModified); Modif = new Date(x.toGMTString()); Year = takeYear(Modif); Month = Modif.getMonth(); Day = Modif.getDate(); Mod = (Date.UTC(Year,Month,Day,0,0,0))/86400000; x = new Date(); today = new Date(x.toGMTString()); Year2 = takeYear(today); Month2 = today.getMonth(); Day2 = today.getDate(); now = (Date.UTC(Year2,Month2,Day2,0,0,0))/86400000; daysago = now - Mod; if (daysago < 0) return ''; unit = 'days'; if (daysago > 730) { daysago = Math.floor(daysago/365); unit = 'years'; } else if (daysago > 60) { daysago = Math.floor(daysago/30); unit = 'months'; } else if (daysago > 14) { daysago = Math.floor(daysago/7); unit = 'weeks' } var towrite = 'Page last changed '; if (daysago == 0) towrite += 'today'; else if (daysago == 1) towrite += 'yesterday'; else towrite += daysago + ' ' + unit + ' ago'; return towrite; } function takeYear(theDate) { x = theDate.getYear(); var y = x % 100; y += (y < 38) ? 2000 : 1900; return y; }
..and calling it.
Code JavaScript:document.write(lastMod())
If you need someone to talk to, I'm always there to listen.

Thanks but I already tried this - does the same thing but just puts it in terms of how many days ago the page was last updated.
Anyone else know a way to achieve this?
