note 106424 added to function.filesize

filesize($filename) dose not return the file size but the number of characters in the file. EG. A file of two lines with 10 characters would be displayed as; 1234567890 1234567890 But filesize() would see it as; 12345678901234567890 filesize() would return a value of 20 characters and not 24 bytes. (As chr 10 and chr 13 at the end of each line is not counted) Windows Explorer would display the same file on your hard drive as 24 bytes. To fix this bug and return the file size use the following code that; 1: Reads the number of characters in the file with filesize(), 2: Reads the number of lines and returns filesize() + (lines *2) lines x 2 as we are adding two bytes for each line. (Chr 10 and 13) function GetFileSize($filepath){ // Return the size of $fileURL if(!file_exists($fileURL)){ return -1; // Not found error value. } // Next line returns number of characters in the file and not the size. // return filesize($fileURL); // Old code returns number of characters only. // New code returns the file size in bytes. $charsInFile = filesize($fileURL); $fileLines = file($fileURL); $totalLines = count($fileLines); $sizeInBytes = $charsInFile+($totalLines*2); return $sizeInBytes; } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 90.195.232.204 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/106424 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106424/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106424/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106424/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106424/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106424/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106424/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106424 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/106424 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
