note 61607 added to function.file-exists

As of php 5.0.4, many (if not all) php file manipulation functions fail if a file's size is no smaller than 2GB (i.e. 2^31) on the x86 platforms. Even file_exists() fails (always returns FALSE). This puzzled me when I was writing a video file manipulation application. A simple alternative is like: function file_exists_2gb($filename) { system("test -f $filename", $rval); return ($rval == 0); } ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 12.47.58.140 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61607 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61607&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61607&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61607&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61607&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61607&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61607&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61607&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61607&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
