Re: stat/fstat

I just figured this only applies to stat() and not fstat(). Which also means they're totally incompatible with each other, although the documentation suggests they're essentially the same, other than the fact that one expects a file handle and the other expects a file name... What gives? At 01:07 11/5/2001, Zeev Suraski wrote:

Hey, I just got around to writing a PHP script that uses stat(), and was quite surprised to find that instead of using string indices, it uses hardcoded/obscure numeric indices, e.g.: Array (

    [0] => 2050
    [1] => 1114462
    [2] => 16877
    [3] => 2
    [4] => 503
    [5] => 513
    [6] => 11065
    [7] => 1024
    [8] => 989532201
    [9] => 989532201
    [10] => 989532201
    [11] => 4096
    [12] => 2

) Is there any reason for this? If not, I'd like to add meaningful names as well (I guess it's way too late to remove the numeric indices) Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> CTO & co-founder, Zend Technologies Ltd. http://www.zend.com/ -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
