Overview
The GetFileCreateTime function retrieves the creation time for a specified file, a Basic File or Folder Enumeration Object as a qword.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
qword = GetFileCreateTime ( mixed file );
Parameters
file
A string containing a qualified file name and path, This parameter supports UTF encoding for filenames with Unicode characters. Or,
a handle to either a file (such as one opened with the OpenFile or CreateFile functions) an FTP connection object or a folder enumeration object.
Return Value
Returns a qword containing the file creation time in milliseconds since January 1, 1601 (UTC) or -1 on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.
Remarks
The returned time is always in UTC or Zulu time (Z). The resolution of the time value is dependent on the underlying file system.
For more information on the return value, see the Windows FILETIME structure in the Windows SDK. To convert the return value to a string, use the FormatDate function. To retrieve the file creation time as a string, use the GetFileCreateTimeString function.
Note that when retrieving times from an FTP connection, the file times are generally the local time for the specified server.
If the file parameter is not valid, the GetLastError function will return ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE or ERROR_FILE.
