Returns the time the file was last accessed, or FALSE in case of
an error. The time is returned as a Unix timestamp.
Note: The atime of a file is supposed to change whenever
the data blocks of a file are being read. This can be
costly performance-wise when an application regularly
accesses a very large number of files or directories. Some
Unix filesystems can be mounted with atime updates disabled
to increase the performance of such applications; USENET
news spools are a common example. On such filesystems
this function will be useless.
Note: The results of this
function are cached. See clearstatcache() for
more details.
Tip: As of PHP 5.0.0 this function
can also be used with some URL wrappers. Refer to
Appendix L for a listing of which wrappers support
stat() family of functionality.
