fstat
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
fstat — Gets information about a file using an open file pointer
Description
$handle
) : array
Gathers the statistics of the file opened by the file
pointer handle. This function is similar to the
stat() function except that it operates
on an open file pointer instead of a filename.
Return Values
Returns an array with the statistics of the file; the format of the array is described in detail on the stat() manual page.
Examples
Example #1 fstat() example
<?php
// open a file
$fp = fopen("/etc/passwd", "r");
// gather statistics
$fstat = fstat($fp);
// close the file
fclose($fp);
// print only the associative part
print_r(array_slice($fstat, 13));
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Array
(
[dev] => 771
[ino] => 488704
[mode] => 33188
[nlink] => 1
[uid] => 0
[gid] => 0
[rdev] => 0
[size] => 1114
[atime] => 1061067181
[mtime] => 1056136526
[ctime] => 1056136526
[blksize] => 4096
[blocks] => 8
)
Notes
Note: This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.
