Hi all, Am using v3.2.0b4-072201 [mandrake 8.2] along with php v4.1.2, apache 1.3.23 and am having a problem with the 'LASTMODIFIED' varible.
I am trying to get my PHP files to have a proper last modified date. Most of the PHP files reference readfile() which points to another URL. Eg: http://www.seweb.uci.edu/faculty/meeker/ The contents of 'index.uci' [.uci is mapped to be a php suffix] contain a line which looks something like: readfile("http://www.seweb.uci.edu/some/dir/another/dir/file.uci?arg1=1&arg2=8&arg3=9"); Basicly, this reads the URL into the shortened URL [i use readfile() so that URLs are short and sweet]. In the long URL, the file named file.uci has the following as the first line: <?php header("Last-Modified: " . $meta_date); ?> I've also added a META date in the HEAD for good measure: <META name="date" content="<?php echo "$meta_date"; ?>"> FWIW, $meta_date is a PHP varible that is called from the database. It's the day the page's content was last updated [all content in these pages is stored in a database, including the date the page's content was last updated]. I've made sure that $meta_date is formatted according to RFC 1123 and RFC 1945, as follows: $udate = $qrow["UNIX_TIMESTAMP(datetime)"]; $meta_date = gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s \G\M\T',"$udate"); When I run htdig -vvv, it appears that the correct date is used: 344:337:4:http://www.seweb.uci.edu/faculty/meeker/: Making HTTP request on http://www.seweb.uci.edu/faculty/meeker/ Request time: 0 secs time: Sat, 19 Oct 2002 21:10:54 GMT title: CLS Faculty: Professor and Associate Dean Meeker However, when I place a search query, the last modified date still shows today's date, 11/20/2002, as the last modified. I have confirmed that my htdig.conf file contains, "use_doc_date: true". What else am I missing? Any enlightenment into this matter would be most appreciated. /vjl/ -- Vince LaMonica UC Irvine, School of Social Ecology W3 Developer <*> 116 Social Ecology I, Irvine, CA 92697 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.seweb.uci.edu/techsupport No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Battle your brains against the best in the Thawte Crypto Challenge.
