note 43900 added to function.filesize

I just discovered that filesize ($file) will return the same result throughout the script. If you for example want to decrease the size of a file until it reaches a certain size you can't do:... <?php while ( filesize ($file) > $maxSize ) { decreaseFileSizeAndWriteNewFileTo ($file); } ?> ...as the output of filesize never changes even though the file gets smaller the loop becomes eternal. You have to do something like: <?php $i = 0; while ( $i == 0 || filesize ($file . $i) > $maxSize ) { $i++; decreaseFileSizeAndWriteNewFileTo ($file . $i); } ?> I used this to change the quality of uploaded images until they were small enough for my requirements. Remember to delete all the junk files this loop will create! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43900 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43900&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43900&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
