#flastmod

The #flastmod directive instructs the Web server to insert the time the specified file was modified into an HTML page. You must surround a directive with HTML comment delimiters.

This directive can be used only in HTML pages; it cannot be used in ASP pages.

Syntax

<!-- #flastmod PathType = FileName -->

Parameters

PathType

Specifies the type of the path to FileName. The path type can be one of the following:

Path Type	Meaning
File	The file name is a relative path from the directory containing the document with the #flastmod directive.
Virtual	The file name is a full path from a virtual directory in your Web site.

FileName

Specifies the name of the file for which you want the last modification time. FileName must contain the file name extension, and you must enclose the file name in quotation marks (").

Remarks

The file containing the #flastmod directives must use a file name extension that is mapped to the SSI interpreter; otherwise, the Web server will not process the directives. By default, the extensions .stm, .shtm, and .shtml are mapped to the interpreter (Ssinc.dll).

By default, the modification time is expressed as a date in the format DayName MonthName DayNumber YearNumber (for example, Tuesday June 3 1997). You can change the format by using the #config directive with the timefmt option.

Examples

<!-- #flastmod file = "mydocument.htm" -->
