PHP Watch files and directories recursively

I have created small but useful script using PHP which watches file and directory changes.

That script should be run as a separate process, maybe in background to watch file changes and do some actions.
I have also tested on folder which has several thousands of files and it detects changes pretty fast.
It can be optimized in terms of how it can be used.
Any optimization ideas will be gladly accepted.

@Fames Id You need to run the following script in your terminal `php index.php FILE_OR_FOLDER_PATH` ans specify you `localhost/somefoldertocheck` folder path

@Fames Id I removed that $previousDate variable. It was not used anymore.

I made a script in php for the integrity of my system, the script iterate through under all directores and files specified of my system but that doesnt work how I need, the integrity files is equal in my database but when the hashes send to my database, the files path send without / and the results is different. I need help you

Anything on date time functions ? As I have searched on the internet for this particular topic and have not found much .

[@TheCodeholic]

What do you mean on date time functions?

Loved it! Won't it have bottlenecks, because of the sleep call though? Any optimization ways?

I don't think it needs any optimization right now. I have also tested on folder which has several thousands of files and it detects changes pretty fast.
It can be optimized in terms of usability. Maybe create a separate class with possible arguments, maximum number of files to keep track, watching interval and some other stuff.
Any optimization ideas will be gladly accepted.
