Did you try clearstatcache() before getting timestamp second time?

Like this?

$dest = 'H:/file1.php';
if (!touch($dest, 1172464466)) echo 'touch failed' ;
clearstatcache();
echo filemtime($dest);
// output = 1172460866 (one hour less ... how maddening)

So ... yes (thanks).

As Jerry pointed out, there is a bug report showing this behavior was introduced in Php 5.2.1 (in Windows32). http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40568 And the bug report status is simply ... suspended. My only resort to keep my backup scripts working properly was to revert back to Php 4 (or manually copy the backups in Windows Explorer). I don't see why this bug is being ignored. (And I've little faith that my "one" vote will affect that status). There is no work around. I'll have to keep an earlier version of Php to run twice every year (at the time changes) - or add a switch in my script that will add or subtract one hour from the desired timestamp.
