Syntax
Following below is the syntax to use this function -
int filectime ( string $filename )
The result of this function can be cached, and the clearstatcache() can be used to clear the cache. We can use the filemtime() to return the time when the file content was last modified.
Return Value

Example
Try out the below example -
<?php echo filectime("/PhpProject/sample.txt"); echo "\n"; echo "Last change: ".date("F d Y H:i:s.",filectime("/PhpProject/sample.txt")); ?>
Output
When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -
