Re: fopen wierdness

acutally i found my problem, what was happening was that script1 that was on the server that file resides had that file open at the same time that scirpt2 was trying to open via http, when i change that files name, the permissions changed, and script1 was unable to open the file, and so script2 was able to :p my bad. but it leads me to another question, is there a way to get the file size of something opened via httpd?
