filesize

[John]

Hi all,

I'd like to evaluate dynamicaly the size of a dynamic file.
I use the filesize() function...

this is my code :
$my_size =
filesize(http://localhost/the_file_from_which...t_the_size.php) ;

=> I always get 0 !
Do you have any solution ?

thanks in advance,

if the page is generated dynamically, the only solution is to retrieve
it and count the number of bytes in it.

you forget the '"' and you must declarate the file name in the following
form.. try this..
(if the script is in the same directory of the file you want to examine)
$my_size = filesize("./the_file_from_w hich_i_want_to_ get_the_size.ph p");

<http://php.net/filesize> clearly states:
| *Tip:* As of PHP 5.0.0 this function can also be used with /some/ URL
| wrappers. Refer to _Appendix L_ for a listing of which wrappers support
| *_stat()_* family of functionality.

Now Appendix L on HTTP(S) <http://php.net/wrappers.http>:
| Attribute Supported
| Restricted by allow_url_fopen . Yes
| Allows Reading Yes
| Allows Writing No
| Allows Appending No
| Allows Simultaneous Reading and Writing N/A
| Supports stat() No <-- LOOK HERE!
| Supports unlink() No
| Supports rename() No
| Supports mkdir() No
| Supports rmdir() No

A simple RTFM gives the answer... nice, huh?

The trouble is that the Php file read locally is 3 kb as it is some 8 to 10
kb when interpreted...

Then the first part on its own suffices as your way to enlightment...
