Bug description:Docs do not clearly identify which functions fail on large files on 32bit sys.
Description:
------------
It would be nice if the PHP documentation included notes on the function
pages for functions that fail on 32bit servers and files larger than 2GB.
For example,
is_file
file_exists
realpath (as of php 5.3.0)
filesize
(and a bunch of others)
For example, the filesize function includes this note:
Note: Because PHP's integer type is signed and many platforms use 32bit
integers, filesize() may return unexpected results for files which are
larger than 2GB. For files between 2GB and 4GB in size this can usually be
overcome by using sprintf("%u", filesize($file)).
It would be very helpful if all the builtin functions that suffer this fate
with large files on 32bit systems had similar official notes.
