Have some issues while retrieving original creation date from file. So long file is taken from localhost and already was there so either filectime or filemtime works fine. I need to do something with files which was downloaded from google drive. I can see in file properties that there are something like "medium created" in addition to "creation date" and "change date" but I can't get it. Both creation date and change date are the time I've downloaded the file, and "medium created" is the only one original creation time. Can someone help?

  • Does this answer your question? [PHP: how can I get file creation date?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4401320/php-how-can-i-get-file-creation-date) – Breezer May 21 '21 at 00:13
  • Unfortunetly not. One more time - neither filectime nor filemtime work in some cases. There is a third tag I try to take. I'll update if I'll find the solution. – martinezm May 21 '21 at 00:44
  • The original creation time can only be preserved with the download process that supports preserving that. Otherwise it is lost. For some specific media type, there might be other metadata you can look for. But that depends on the file format. What kind of file are you concerning? – Koala Yeung May 21 '21 at 01:27
