Is it possible to get the version of a file with php. Basically what I am trying to do is implement an automatic update system for a windows application that I am creating. Currently I have a database that stores the file versions. What I want to do is have the php file check the version of the files in the update directory and return these to the windows client. All of this I can already do, except for get the file version of the files. Is this even possible in php? thanks for any help.
