Get creation date of an image in a url with php

  • 772

How could I know the creation or modification date of an image found in a url? Example: I have the url of this image:

https://newrelic.com/assets/pages/apm/php/php-elephant-logo-bd4f9d83be8c8563248fe4793f90bae7.png

and I want to know its creation date, and I had been using the function filectime()but it always returns 12/31/1969 18:00

Thank you

    To obtain the last date of modification of the image you could obtain the headers of the url in question, within these you will find Last-Modifiedthat it is the last date of modification of the image. For this you must use the function get_headers()

    In code it would be something like this:

    <?php
$nombre_archivo = 'https://newrelic.com/assets/pages/apm/php/php-elephant-logo-bd4f9d83be8c8563248fe4793f90bae7.png';
$headerArray = array();
$headerArray = get_headers($nombre_archivo, 1);

/***Imprimir todos los valores del arreglo de cabeceras

echo "<PRE>";
var_dump($headerArray);
echo "</PRE>";

*/

echo "Ultima fecha de modificacion: ".$headerArray["Last-Modified"];
//Este ultimo echo muestra: Ultima fecha de modificacion: Mon, 13 Mar 2017 21:49:40 GMT
?>

    EDIT

    To change the date format you can do it as follows:

    echo date("d/m/Y G:i",strtotime($headerArray["Last-Modified"]));
