Is it possible to retrieve the date and time of the creation of a folder in PHP?

To retrieve the date and time of the creation of a folder in PHP, you can use the `filectime()` function which returns the inode change time of a file. This time represents the time when the metadata of the file was last changed, which includes the creation time on some systems. Keep in mind that this method may not work on all systems due to differences in filesystems. 

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

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