I feel so accomplished relearning my old roots It went from having a date.txt file where I would have to write the date in every time I updated the proxy list, to automatic
I said goodbye to date.txt with these simple lines:

PHP Code:

$pfile = "proxies.txt"; //Declare file

$pfiletime = date("U", filemtime($pfile)); //Formatting the file's last modified time into seconds <<Used again in second code box>>
$hoursToSubtract = 4; //UTC offset (In Hours) For me I am UTC-4
$secToSubtract = ($hoursToSubtract * 60 * 60); //converts the $hoursToSubtract into seconds; 4 x 60 minutes x 60 seconds
$mytime = $pfiletime - $secToSubtract; //Subtracting the 4 hours (in seconds) from the files time (to get UTC-4 timezone)

//Reformat the new UTC-4 time ($mytime) to a readable format (Because it's in seconds)
$time1 = date("F j, Y", $mytime);
$time2 = date("g:i", $mytime);
$time3 = date(":s", $mytime);
$time4 = date("A [e-4]", $mytime)
//You can also do this in 1 line. I just needed to display the date on two separate lines and make the seconds smaller, so I had to separate it all.
$example1line = date("F j, Y g:i:s A [e-4]", $mytime); //pfile's last modified date and time in UTC-4 Timezone 


Then since having the the $pfiletime in seconds already, I grabbed the current time (also in UTC; where server is located) and subtract them to get the time of how long ago it was modified:

PHP Code:

$currenttime = time(); //getting time in seconds
$updatedlast = $currenttime - $pfiletime; //subtracting current time from $pfiletime 

//Then once again changing the time from seconds to a readable format, also can be done in 1 line but I separated it so it can be displayed separately in a sentence.
$uphrs = date("G", $updatedlast);
$upmins = date("i", $updatedlast);
$upsecs = date("s", $updatedlast);

$example1line = date("G:i:s", $updatedlast); //Will display as "Hours:Minutes:Seconds" 


Super easy, once I knew the date and filemtime functions I was able to really do it all by myself
I hope someone finds this information useful

A job well done.

The date, filemtime and time functions are quite powerful, but must be used In the proper context. On a similar principle but different task, I deal with the DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, DATE & YEAR data types (the caps Is how they're represented) on almost a daily basis, when manipulating databases In SQL during exploitation. The execution must correspond with each one accordingly.

I like your site's theme- simple and very attractive. I see that anon.city will be up soon. I'll keep an eye out for It.

I never gotten that far with my experience but SQL is definitely on the bucket list Pretty Funny though that you use almost the same functions everyday that I used here but a different language

Then hits me up saying he was busy with other peoples projects that hes also accepted. Then also has the nerve to ask me if the logo he requested in the beginning was done xD (I agreed to make him a logo for building most of the websites back-end). I simply said "when the website is actually getting worked on and progress is being made I will work on the logo, I am just not gonna make a free logo and then never hear from you again". So this project might be taking longer than I expected

I'm probably saying this because I've been using It for so long, that It's become second nature. When you decide to take It on board, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM with any questions you may have.

Unless you're working to a deadline, do remember that there's no rush when creating a website. I have many sites up and running, with the latest (work In progress) being a social engineering blog. As long as I add "some" content each day toward Its completion, then I'm happy with that.

But yea that's what I've been thinking so I haven't been stressing it too much because I know it best; that everyone has their own life and may not always be able to be there. So I'm just letting him rock until he's ready
