Req #34750 [Opn]: filesize()/stat() fails on too big files

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34750&edit=1 ID: 34750 User updated by: aulbach at mayflower dot de Reported by: aulbach at mayflower dot de Summary: filesize()/stat() fails on too big files Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS,6CVS,4CVS (2008-02-22) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Off-Topic @ sam_account3 at hotmail dot co dot uk: How could the operating-system be important in this bug? Either PHP can handle the filesize or not. Otherwise the bug isn't fixed, because at OS1 the bug appears then after 32 Petabytes but at OS2 the bug appears only Tuesdays. It's no matter how it's done/how the size is stored, but when it is fixed, there should be no limits such as the operating system. For example: To go arround the limits of this bug I stored the filesize as a string, like a database does. So PHP handles the filesize not as INT but as STRING. This is a kind of fix, which will work anymore in 30 years. Perhaps some of you have smarter ideas... :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-11 12:16:38] sam_account3 at hotmail dot co dot uk Please avoid writing '*' in the OS field. This is particularly important here, as your request is platform-dependant. PHP uses 4 bytes to store an integer on 32-bit systems, and 8 bytes on 64-bit systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-24 10:54:00] aulbach at mayflower dot de Nice. Perhaps I mix something up, but don't forget to fix stat() too. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-23 22:11:59] dominic dot benson at thirdlight dot com The patch takes advantage of floats being doubles in PHP (with 53 bits of precision under linux 32) - in the patch LLONG_MAX is hardcoded as its actual value, this should really be derived from limits.h. It depends on PHP being built with the largefile compile flags to actually work (it fixes the integer wrapping that then occurs). It should be harmless on 64 bit, but ideally configure would check long vs. double on the system and include the additional section or not based on that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-06 10:38:36] aulbach at mayflower dot de - it's not a feature request, it's a workarround over a problem, that otherwise cannot be solved within PHP! (without calling external programs) - For longer term, there is no question, that PHP needs 64 bit integer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-06 10:22:20] derick@php.net This is not a bug, but a feature request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
