How do you display last modified date
Hello I am using PHP, mysql. How would I query mysql to display the last time a table was last modified/changed/or updated. For example I have a user that updates a stats page via the web, and I would like it to say (Current up to The last date the stats table was modified). Thanks for your help, I've been looking online as well but thought this may be quicker. Take care. Thanks again. Daniel
RE: How do you display last modified date
I see the type timestamp. Should I leave value, attributes...blank. Do I just query this field and format as need via DATE()? Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for your help, Take a look at the TIMESTAMP column type. Add one to table and then you'l be able to use SELECT MAX(timestamp_column) on your table.
