FSTAT(3) 1 FSTAT(3) fstat - Gets information about a file using an open file pointer SYNOPSIS
array fstat (resource $handle) DESCRIPTION
Gathers the statistics of the file opened by the file pointer $handle. This function is similar to the stat(3) function except that it operates on an open file pointer instead of a filename. PARAMETERS
o $handle -A file system pointer resource that is typically created using fopen(3). RETURN VALUES
Returns an array with the statistics of the file; the format of the array is described in detail on the stat(3) manual page. EXAMPLES
Example #1 fstat(3) example <?php // open a file $fp = fopen("/etc/passwd", "r"); // gather statistics $fstat = fstat($fp); // close the file fclose($fp); // print only the associative part print_r(array_slice($fstat, 13)); ?> The above example will output something similar to: Array ( [dev] => 771 [ino] => 488704 [mode] => 33188 [nlink] => 1 [uid] => 0 [gid] => 0 [rdev] => 0 [size] => 1114 [atime] => 1061067181 [mtime] => 1056136526 [ctime] => 1056136526 [blksize] => 4096 [blocks] => 8 ) NOTES
Note This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem. PHP Documentation Group FSTAT(3)
