Get Date file was Uploaded to Server

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 04.2010

Hi,
I would like to create a script that behaves differently according to the date it was uploaded to the webserver. Meaning – if I send the script to my friends and each one uploads it to his server on a different date – each one will get a different behavior.

Something like:
[INDENT][COLOR=”DarkRed”][B]uploaddate=[I]getuploaddate()[/I];[/B]
if uploaddate between Jan 1…Jan15, 2010
do this1;
elseif uploaddate between Jan 16…Jan31, 2010
do this2;
elseif uploaddate between Feb 1…Feb 15, 2010
do this3;
etc.[/COLOR][/INDENT]
[B]My question: Which function can I use to get the upload date (instead of [I]getuploaddate()[/I] )[/B]

Thanks!

@mrhooNov 04.2010 — The 'Last-Modified' date is the last time the file was saved on that server, and can be read in the header response. [/QUOTE]

[CODE]function fileModified(url){
try{
var O= new window.XMLHttpRequest();
O.open("HEAD", url, false);
O.send(null);
if(O.status== 200){
return O.getResponseHeader('Last-Modified');
}
else return null;
}
catch(er){
return null;
}
}[/CODE]
alert([B]fileModified(url)[/B])
