You might try using standard shell commands (ls -la) and capturing the values into either strings or double floats. You could probably work something out that would give you most of what you need. A hack... most definately, but I've had good luck dealing with 64bit ints as doubles without loosing too much precision.

I would like to get filesize to display basic data on them via a browser. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-30 11:59:40] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Most likely not soon... internally PHP uses a signed integer for string lengths and other things. What exactly do you want to do with this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-30 11:12:52] domisse at iap dot fr Description: ------------ Is there any hope to see a large file support in php ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24411&edit=1
