[PHP]Keep the modification date of a file when archiving it.

[Bastien Helders]

Hi,

When I'm archiving files in a ZIP file, using the class ZipArchive, the 
modification date is modified to when ZipArchive::close is called. I would like 
to keep the original modification date. Is that even possible?

Best Regards,

Before changing the file, use the filemtime()
http://us3.php.net/filemtimefunction to get the mod date, then use
touch() http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.touch.php to set the date
after you change the file.

 possible?

www.php.net/touch

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

Attempts to set the access and modification times of the file named in
the filename parameter to the value given in time . Note that the access
time is always modified, regardless of the number of parameters.

If the file does not exist, it will be created.

So... I would say just call that on your file after you
ZipArchive::close it.
