Wrapped the above in a function, for easy use:

function getMtime($filename, $server, $login, $pwd){

    // set up connection
    $conn_id = ftp_connect($server) or die("ERROR:Could not connect to $server");

    // login
    $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $login, $pwd);

    //  get the last modified time for our file
    $buff = ftp_mdtm($conn_id, $filename);

    // close the connection
    ftp_close($conn_id);

    if ($buff != -1) {
        // somefile.txt was last modified on: March 26 2003 14:16:41.
        return "$filename was last modified on : " . date("F d Y H:i:s.", $buff);
    } else {
        return "ERROR: Could not retrieve mdtime";
    }
}

$filename='example.csv';
$server='ftp.example.nl';
$login='supersecureloginhere';
$pwd='supersecurepwd';

$mtime=getMtime($filename, $server, $login, $pwd);
echo $mtime;

When trying to get the modified time of a file that has spaces in it, ftp_mdtm will fail on some FTP servers.  If this happens, surround the file name with quotes.

$file_name = "my index.html";

$file_modtime = ftp_mdtm($connection, '"'.$file_name.'"')
