Get date from a file

[gngplcs]

I regularly modify files which are posted to my web site for viewing and download. The posts include the document name, date, and discription. I would like to have the date pulled from the file directly instead of having to update the page whenever I modify a file in the file system. To the best of my knowledge JavaScript can not do this, however if I'm wrong please enlighten me. If I'm correct and this can not be done using JavaScript, is there a way it can be done using some other language? As far as compatability goes I'm only worreied about it working with IE 6. This is for an intra-net and that's the only client that will access it.

Use a server-side script to get and display the date of the file. That assumes that the manager of your intranet will allow you to do that of course.
