                                     touch

   (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
   touch -- Sets access and modification time of file

Description

   bool touch ( string filename [, int time [, int atime]])

   Attempts to set the access and modification time of the file named by
   filename to the value given by time. If the option time is not given,
   uses the present time. This is equivalent to what utime (sometimes
   referred to as utimes) does. If the third option atime is present, the
   access time of the given filename is set to the value of atime. Note
   that the access time is always modified, regardless of the number of
   parameters.

   If the file does not exist, it is created. Returns TRUE on success or
   FALSE on failure.

   Example 1. touch() example
   <?php
   if (touch($FileName)) {
       echo "$FileName modification time has been
              changed to todays date and time";
   } else {
       echo "Sorry Could Not change modification time of $FileName";
   }
   ?>
