filesize - Gets file size

SYNOPSIS

       int filesize (string  $filename)

DESCRIPTION

	Gets the size for the given file.

PARAMETERS

	      o $filename
		- Path to the file.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the size of the file in bytes, or FALSE (and generates an error of level E_WARNING) in case of an error.

       Note

	       Because PHP's integer type is signed and many platforms use 32bit integers, some filesystem functions may return unexpected results
	      for files which are larger than 2GB.

	      <?php

	      // outputs e.g.  somefile.txt: 1024 bytes

	      $filename = 'somefile.txt';
	      echo $filename . ': ' . filesize($filename) . ' bytes';

	      ?>
