jamesmills,

well, to check when the file was "Last Modified" (updated) u can use 'filemtime' function.

any idea how you get the current time/date and then add say 1 min onto that date/time?

thanks

<?

  $file = &quot;bla.jpg&quot;;
  $modified = filemtime($file);
  $current_time = time();
  if (($current_time - $modified) <= 60) { 
    $updated_in_the_last_minute = 1; } else {
    $updated_in_the_last_minute = 0; 
  }
?>

well this takes "bla.jpg" and checks if it was updated in the last 60 seconds... then u just need to echo the result or do what u want with it

haven't tested it but i think it works.
