show when a page was last updated

[clarkej]

hey i was woundering if it was possible / if there is any form of codeing which would show when a page was last updated (with out it having to be manually changed (its kind of an audit / security requirment))

thanks in advance

You could use a serverside language (like PHP) to find the last modified date from the file, if that's what you want. Otherwise you need to have a content management system ('CMS') of some sort that tracks when you edit content and stores it in a database (etc.).

Heres a lil' script in PHP that displays the last modification time:

<?php


    echo date("h:i:s", getlastmod());

?>
