Tip: As of PHP 5.0.0 this function can also be used with some URL
wrappers. Refer to Appendix J for a listing of which wrappers support
stat() family of functionality.

Are you using PHP 5.0.0?

According to filesize(), how large is
"http://www.site.com/file/men.htm"?

To read a file I usually do:

$contents = implode('', file($filename));
Happy Coding :)
