#20446 [Bgs]: negative filesize() returned on large files > 2Gb

ID: 20446 User updated by: andrew.robinson@gni.co.uk Reported By: andrew.robinson@gni.co.uk Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Operating System: NT4 - SP 6 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Although the number is no longer negative the size is unfortunately inaccurate by quite a bit. It's a shame as php was in the running as our cli for scripting on NT. I doubt it will pass acceptance testing now. Thanks for all your help it was appreciated.

Are there any work arounds for filesize() ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-15 09:26:17] derick@php.net This is not really a bug, PHP simply doesn't support unsigned integers, and a signed integer on Windows/i386 only goes to 2^31 - 1 (about 2GB).

"\t" filesize("$DIRNAME$file") . "\n"; } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20446&edit=1
