[Eclug] File creation times

Hi,

	while working on a better script for displaying my tons of pictures and 
home videos on my cheesy website I came across some oddity that requires 
some geek (means ECLUG) input. It appears as that the original creation 
time of a file is not stored, only the time the file was last changed / 
modified and last accessed. Is it correct, that file systems do not store 
the creation time? Why would one not store the creation time?
Using PHP,  filectime gives me the changed time whereas filemtime gives the 
file modified time. So, what is the difference between changed and 
modified? Is that a difference that applies only to *n*x systems?

	No creation time....wierd.
