Hi there,

I am writing a small application to handle file uploads for an intranet.
The application prompts the user if the uploaded file already exists
on the server, however, I would like to give them the option to
overwrite files without prompt, if the uploaded files are newer than
those on the server. I know I can use filemtime() to get the timestamp
for the files on the server, but what about the uploaded files? I
briefly thought I had a solution by doing
filemtime($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name']), but of course this
gives me the last modified date of the temporary copy on the server, not
the original file. I have a feeling it is impossible to do what I am
trying to do, as any timestamp data is not available in the $_FILES
array - if anyone can confirm this, or perhaps give me some advice, I
would appreciate it very much.

Thanks,

Ed
