How can one retrieve the creation date of a folder in PHP?

To retrieve the creation date of a folder in PHP, you can use the `filectime()` function, which returns the last change time of a file. Since the creation date of a folder is not directly available in PHP, the `filectime()` function can be used as an approximation. 

$folderPath = 'path/to/folder';
$creationDate = filectime($folderPath);

echo "Creation date of folder: " . date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $creationDate);
