fileatime() showing inacurate results

I am trying to check a time in which a specific file was accessed, so I tried to go with checking the date first.

var_dump(date('d', fileatime('clientNames.txt'))); 
//string '13' (length=2)

Now, normally the date in which the file was accessed/changed should be shown, but instead I see 13 even in the file properties, Nov 13. That was the time when the file was created, but I have modified it many times after than, however fileatime() always gives creation date.

I even tried to clear the cache clearstatcache(); still it shows 13

Try to call:

clearstatcache();

before fileatime(). Function manual
