note 43900 deleted from function.filesize by aidan

Note Submitter: tomasz ATNOSPAM codestar DOTNOSPAM se ---- 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!
