 Operating System: linux
 PHP Version:      Irrelevant
 New Comment:

Is there any reason why both OS's cannot perform in the same manner?

In checking filestat.c (/* $Id: filestat.c,v 1.160 2007/02/26 20:35:41

used (char drive = path[0] & 95;).

Linux accepts a full path.
OS2 accepts a full path, but only uses the drive part.
Windows doesn't accept a full path, but could by checking to see if the
supplied path is a file (php_stat() would do that) and if so, chop off
the filename and try that.

Alternatively, only do the chopping part if the original test fails.

Verified behavior on Linux machine. I'm not sure if we should document
this, however, because it's not portable at all.

Description:
------------
Linux behaviour of disk_free_space() is not fully documented

ref:  http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.disk-free-space.php

The description in the PHP manual states: 

"float disk_free_space ( string $directory )
Given a string containing a directory, this function will return the
number of bytes available on the corresponding filesystem or disk
partition.  "

This is true for Windows, where only a directory name is accepted as
input.  On a Linux system, the function will also accept an existing
filename. 

Please add following text to the description:

"On a Linux system, the function will also accept an existing filename,
in which case it will return the number of bytes remaining in the
corresponding filesystem. "

Example: 

<?php
    // On Linux :
    disk_free_space("/phpwork/tmp.txt") ;      
    //  returns bytes free in filesystem containing tmp.txt 
?>
