File timestamps

When looking at files, it can be nice to include their most recent modification time.

Before calling filemtime (which takes in a file-name, and returns a date):

  ; Either:
  ini_set('date.timezone','America/New_York');
  date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');

  echo strtotime('2012-Feb-08 11:03:27');   // don't use '2012.Feb.08 ...'; it returns null.
  echo date('Y-M-d H:m:s',234234234);

Look at the documentation for scandir.
Since it returns an array of filenames, it's a natural match to use with other functions that want an array of strings: For example, echo htmlLines( scandir( '/ibarland/Tmp' ) );
