However, Vince originally said... 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. Back in July 2001, the 3.2.0b4 snapshots of htdig did not support RFC 1123 date formats in meta tags. They do now, because of a switch to a more generalized date parsing method, but that won't help Vince. He should stick to ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD is all that this snapshot will parse), which is apparently the standard date format for use in meta date tags anyway. In htdig -vvv output, when it displays "time: ...", this only means it got that date string and it's about to attempt to parse it - it's not a confirmation that it did parse it correctly. If it can't parse it, it will silently ignore it. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
