	      <?php
	      $connection = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22);
	      ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'username', 'password');

	      $sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
	      $statinfo = ssh2_sftp_lstat($sftp, '/path/to/symlink');

	      $filesize = $statinfo['size'];
	      $group = $statinfo['gid'];
	      $owner = $statinfo['uid'];
	      $atime = $statinfo['atime'];
