(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
filesize — Gets file size
filenamePath to the file.
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.
Upon failure, an E_WARNING is emitted.
Example #1 filesize() example
<?php
// outputs e.g. somefile.txt: 1024 bytes
$filename = 'somefile.txt';
echo $filename . ': ' . filesize($filename) . ' bytes';
?>Note: The results of this function are cached. See clearstatcache() for more details.
As of PHP 5.0.0, this function can also be used with some URL wrappers. Refer to Supported Protocols and Wrappers to determine which wrappers support stat() family of functionality.
Extremely simple function to get human filesize.
<?php
function human_filesize($bytes, $decimals = 2) {
$sz = 'BKMGTP';
$factor = floor((strlen($bytes) - 1) / 3);
return sprintf("%.{$decimals}f", $bytes / pow(1024, $factor)) . @$sz[$factor];
}
?>if you recently appended something to file, and closed it then this method will not show appended data:
<?php
// get contents of a file into a string
$filename = "/usr/local/something.txt";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);
?>
You should insert a call to clearstatcache() before calling filesize()
I've spent two hours to find that =/<?php
// Recover all file sizes larger than > 4GB.
// Works on php 32bits and 64bits and supports linux
// Used the com_dotnet extension
function getSize($file) {
$size = filesize($file);
if ($size <= 0)
if (!(strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) == 'WIN')) {
$size = trim(`stat -c%s $file`);
}
else{
$fsobj = new COM("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
$f = $fsobj->GetFile($file);
$size = $f->Size;
}
return $size;
}
?>Slightly edited version of the function from rommel at rommelsantor dot com. Now it returns a two characters file size which is a bit more convenient to read.
<?php
function human_filesize($bytes, $decimals = 2) {
$factor = floor((strlen($bytes) - 1) / 3);
if ($factor > 0) $sz = 'KMGT';
return sprintf("%.{$decimals}f", $bytes / pow(1024, $factor)) . @$sz[$factor - 1] . 'B';
}
print human_filesize(12, 0); // 12B
print human_filesize(1234567890, 4); // 1.1498GB
print human_filesize(123456789, 1); // 117.7MB
print human_filesize(12345678901234, 5); // 11.22833TB
print human_filesize(1234567, 3); // 1.177MB
print human_filesize(123456); // 120.56KB
?>
I removed the P units because strlen doesn't seem to work as expected with integers longer than 14 digits. Though it might be only my system's limitation.The first example given may lead one to assume that this function works with a local filename e.g. $fs = filesize("error_log") but if you manually delete some text, then save and close the file, the next time you check filesize("error_log") it will return the original value, because the value is cached for performance reasons. If you didn't know this, it would look like a nasty bug.
So, everyone tells you to insert clearstatcache() which is supposed to clear the cached value and allow you to retrieve the current file size but it still does nothing and looks like another bug!
However, I found that if you always specify the FULL PATH
e.g. $fs = filesize("/user/some/path/error_log");
then clearstatcache() is not even needed.<?php

?>This function also can be great for browser caching controll. For example, you have a stylesheet and you want to make sure everyone has the most recent version. You could rename it every time you edit it, but that would be a waste of time. Instead, you can do like:
<?php
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css?ver=1.'.filesize(dirname(__FILE__).'/style.css').'.'.filemtime(dirname(__FILE__).'/style.css').'.0">';
?>
Sample output:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css?ver=1.8824.1499869132.0">
This also can be apply for JS and also images with same name.For files bigger then 2 GB use my library called Big File Tools. https://github.com/jkuchar/BigFileTools. More details on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/a/35233556/631369<?php

In case of you have a redirection in the server (like Redirect Permanent in the .htaccess)
In this case we have for exemple:
[content-length] => Array
(
[0] => 294 // Size requested file
[1] => 357556 // Real Size redirected file
)Under Windows 10 filesize obviously cannot work with relative path names. Use absolute path instead. $size = filesize(".\\myfile.txt"); does not work for me while "d:\\MyFiles\\Myfile.txt" will do. The same applys to similar functions like is_file() or stat(). They won't work correctly unless given an absolute path.// use system windows for give filesize
// best for php 32bit or php 64bit
// I do not know if it works on other windows, but on Windows 10 works well here

}I have created a handy function, using parts of code from kaspernj at gmail dot com and md2perpe at gmail dot com, which should get file sizes > 4GB on Windows, Linux and Mac (at least).

?>A fast implementation that determines actual file size of large files (>2GB) on 32-bit PHP:
function RealFileSize($fp)
{
$pos = 0;
$size = 1073741824;
fseek($fp, 0, SEEK_SET);
while ($size > 1)
{
fseek($fp, $size, SEEK_CUR);
if (fgetc($fp) === false)
{
fseek($fp, -$size, SEEK_CUR);
$size = (int)($size / 2);
}
else
{
fseek($fp, -1, SEEK_CUR);
$pos += $size;
}
}
while (fgetc($fp) !== false) $pos++;
return $pos;
}
Input is an open file handle. Return value is an integer for file sizes < 4GB, floating-point otherwise.
This starts out by skipping ~1GB at a time, reads a character in, repeats. When it gets into the last GB, it halves the size whenever the read fails. The last couple of bytes are just read in.
Some people might have concerns over this function because $pos will become a floating point number after exceeding integer limits and they know of floating point's tendencies to be inaccurate. On most computers that correctly implement the IEEE floating point spec, $pos will be accurate out to around 9 *petabytes*. Unless you are working with multi-petabyte files in PHP or the code is executing on strange hardware, this function is going to be more than sufficient. Every part of this function has been carefully crafted to deal with 32-bit deficiencies.Here a function to get the size of a file in a human understanding way with decimal separator, thousand separator, decimals...

?>some notes and modifications to previous post.
refering to RFC, when using HTTP/1.1 your request (either GET or POST or HEAD) must contain Host header string, opposite to HTTP/1.1 where Host ain't required. but there's no sure how your remote server would treat the request so you can add Host anyway (it won't be an error for HTTP/1.0).
host value _must_ be a host name (not CNAME and not IP address).
this function catches response, containing Location header and recursively sends HEAD request to host where we are moved until final response is met.
(you can experience such redirections often when downloading something from php scripts or some hash links that use apache mod_rewrite. most all of dowloading masters handle 302 redirects correctly, so this code does it too (running recursively thru 302 redirections).)
[$counter302] specify how much times your allow this function to jump if redirections are met. If initial limit (5 is default) expired -- it returns 0 (should be modified for your purposes whatever).0
