How to show last updated meta for links?

Hi All,

I’m hoping someone can tell me why this:

$bmupdateunixstamp = ($bm->link_updated_f);
$bmlinkupdated = date(D M dS\, Y \a\t g\:ia, $bmupdateunixstamp);
echo $bmlinkupdated;

. . . is not displaying the last updated info for the links in my blogroll. I’ve searched and searched and I want to use this data in my own php, not using a plugin.

Should I just ditch the whole last updated thing because it’s over my head or am I just missing something simple?

I read an old post from WordPress 2.3 where people were editing their update-links.php to make this work but heck if I can find that file anymore in my WordPress install.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

[No bumping, thank you.]
