Is there any way to build a file upload system to preserve the date_created of the file being uploaded?
I’m interested in getting the date_created or date_modified of audio recordings in order to match them up with jpegs’ EXIF times (which do survive the upload process).
If it’s not possible with an html upload form, might a Flash or Java applet-based uploader work for this?
You definately cant do this with JavaScript.
You can do it with Flash:
If you have a signed applet, you can get the last modified date in Java (Java doesnt provide access to the creation date, this is an OS level thing)
