Hi all,  
Could someone please tell me how to reference the current php file. There must be an equivalent to the ‘this’ identifier that’s in flash!

e.g. how could I modify this code so that it’ll run on whichever page its placed.

\<?php  
$last\_modified = filemtime(“THIS.php”);  
print("\<h3\>last updated: ");  
print(date(“m/j/y h:i\</h3\>”, $last\_modified));  
?\>

Cheers good people of Kirupa!

ps I’m new to php (big surprise!), what should I call it PHP, php, Php, etc? Just wondered! Thanks again! 🙂
