filesize

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

filesize — Gets file size

Description

int filesize ( string $filename )

Gets the size for the given file.

Parameters

filename: Path to the file.

Return Values

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, filesize() may return unexpected results for files which are larger than 2GB. For files between 2GB and 4GB in size this can usually be overcome by using sprintf("%u", filesize($file)).

Examples

Example #1 filesize() example


<?php

// outputs e.g.  somefile.txt: 1024 bytes

$filename = 'somefile.txt';
echo $filename . ': ' . filesize($filename) . ' bytes';

?>

Notes

Note: The results of this function are cached. See clearstatcache() for more details.

Tip

As of PHP 5.0.0, this function can also be used with some URL wrappers. Refer to List of Supported Protocols/Wrappers for a listing of which wrappers support stat() family of functionality.


<?php


### File list with file names and sizes


get_size('your_dir');


function get_size($path)


{


$count=0;


  if(!is_dir($path)) return filesize($path); 


  if ($handle = opendir($path)) {


    $size = 0;


    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {


      if($file!='.' && $file!='..') {$count++;


        $size = get_size($path.'/'.$file); // Do not use $size +=...


$sizemb = ($size / 1024)/1024;


$sizemb = round($sizemb,2);


$sizegb = (($size / 1024)/1024)/1024;


$sizegb = round($sizegb,2);





echo "&nbsp;&nbsp<b>$eil_nr</b>. &nbsp;<a href=your_dir/$file>$file</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;[";


if( $size >'1073741824') {echo "$sizegb GB";}else {echo "$sizemb MB";}


echo"]<br />";


      }


    }


    closedir($handle);


    return $size;





  }


}

Hi,



this is my very fast version of byteConvert(). Without using costly pow() function. 

<?php

/**

* Byte converting with bitshifting and formated number

*

* @param int $bytes        bytes

* @return string

*/

function byteConvert(&$bytes){

        $con = 1024;

        $b = (int)$bytes;

        $s = array('B', 'kB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB');

        $e = (int)(log($b,$con));

        return number_format($b/($con<<$e)*2,2,',','.').' '.$s[$e];

}

?>

if I use the func of olafurw and d.abromeit 

echo byteConvert(100);

// output: 100.00 B



And because we don't need of that .00 this is the correct func:



<?php



function byteConvert( $bytes ) {

    

    if ($bytes<=0)

        return '0 Byte';

    

    $convention=1000; //[1000->10^x|1024->2^x]

    $s=array('B', 'kB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB');

    $e=floor(log($bytes,$convention));

    return round($bytes/pow($convention,$e),2).' '.$s[$e];

}



?>



you can simply switch from 10^x to 2^x changing $convention;



this func is a little faster because $e is calculated with only a log function

I use the CLI version of PHP on Windows Vista and work with large (~ 10G) Virtual Machine files.  Here's how to get a NTFS file's size without the 4G limit:



<?php

function dos_filesize($fn) {



    if (is_file($fn))

        return exec('FOR %A IN ("'.$fn.'") DO @ECHO %~zA');

    else

        return '0';

}

?>



This should work on any Windows OS that provides DOS shell commands.

Another way for remote files -> strlen(join('',file('http://www.example.com/)));

d.abromeit
02-Sep-2008 02:55


yes, this function is well known and great 

- but if there are values <=0, then you'll get 

"warning: division by zero ...".

happens if filesize() returns false on error.



so better use something like this:



<?php

  function byte_convert($bytes)

  {

    $symbol = array('B', 'KiB', 'MiB', 'GiB', 'TiB', 'PiB', 'EiB', 'ZiB', 'YiB');



    $exp = 0;

    $converted_value = 0;

    if( $bytes > 0 )

    {

      $exp = floor( log($bytes)/log(1024) );

      $converted_value = ( $bytes/pow(1024,floor($exp)) );

    }



    return sprintf( '%.2f '.$symbol[$exp], $converted_value );

  }

?>



it returns "0" in our problem cases. you may add "false" for backend-usage also. ;O)

No loops needed for this. Should be the fastest way.



<?php

    function byteConvert($bytes)

    {

        $s = array('B', 'Kb', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB');

        $e = floor(log($bytes)/log(1024));

        

        return sprintf('%.2f '.$s[$e], ($bytes/pow(1024, floor($e))));

    }

?>

Be aware to use this function on files/dirs which are NOT writeable: you will get a warning like:

Based on Maikels function.

Improved performance (10 - 15%) and added Doc-block

function getSizeFile($url) {

    if (substr($url,0,4)=='http') {

        $x = array_change_key_case(get_headers($url, 1),CASE_LOWER);

        if ( strcasecmp($x[0], 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK') != 0 ) { $x = $x['content-length'][1]; }

    }

    else { $x = @filesize($url); }



    return $x;

}



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



        )

Even better!

<?php

function format_size($size, $round = 0) {

    //Size must be bytes!

    $sizes = array('B', 'kB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB');

    $total = count($sizes);

    for ($i=0; $size > 1024 && $i < $total; $i++) $size /= 1024;

    return round($size,$round).$sizes[$i];

}

?>



Anyway, the previous post was to show how isset is better than count in performance

Slight bug in the script below, the power should be incremented after the string assignment:



<?php

        do {

            if (1024 > ($byte /= 1024)) {

                $str = ($pow < strlen($postfixes) ? $postfixes[$pow] . 'iB' : '&times; 2<sup>' . ($pow * 10) . '</sup> B');

            }

            $pow++;

        } while ($byte >= 1024);

?>

Yet another function for size readability:



<?php

    function filesize_format($byte = 0, $format = null) {

        $postfixes = 'KMGTPEZY'; $pow = 0;

        

        do {

            $pow++;

            if (1024 > ($byte /= 1024)) {

                $str = ($pow < strlen($postfixes) ? $postfixes[$pow] . 'iB' : '&times; 2<sup>' . ($pow * 10) . '</sup> B'); 

            }

        } while ($byte >= 1024);



        $arr = array($byte, $str);

        return (is_null($format) ? $arr : vsprintf("$format %s", $arr));

    }



    // array(2) { [0]=>  float(10.8623046875) [1]=>  string(3) "MiB" }

    var_dump(filesize_format(11123));



    // string(8) "10.86 MiB"

    var_dump(filesize_format(11123, '%01.2f'));

    

    // string(27) "82 &times; 2<sup>80</sup> B"

Format filesize in one line:

(line-breaks added only for readability)



<?php

$file_size = array_reduce (

    array (" B", " KB", " MB"), create_function (

        '$a,$b', 'return is_numeric($a)?($a>=1024?$a/1024:number_format($a,2).$b):$a;'

);

Just a small bit added in-case someone doesn't want it to go up to 'TB' and deletes 'TB' onwards but the file size is larger than 1024GB this checks to see if you have outreached the size of $sizes


<?php


function format_size($size, $round = 0) {


    //Size must be bytes!


    $sizes = array('B', 'kB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB');


    for ($i=0; $size > 1024 && $i < count($sizes) - 1; $i++) $size /= 1024;


    return round($size,$round).$sizes[$i];


}

function filesize_format($filesize) {

        if($filesize < pow(1024, 1)) return       $filesize.                 " Bytes";

    elseif($filesize < pow(1024, 2)) return round($filesize/pow(1024, 1), 3)." KiB";

    elseif($filesize < pow(1024, 3)) return round($filesize/pow(1024, 2), 3)." MiB";

    elseif($filesize < pow(1024, 4)) return round($filesize/pow(1024, 3), 3)." GiB";

    elseif($filesize < pow(1024, 5)) return round($filesize/pow(1024, 4), 3)." TiB";

    elseif($filesize < pow(1024, 6)) return round($filesize/pow(1024, 5), 3)." PiB";

    elseif($filesize < pow(1024, 7)) return round($filesize/pow(1024, 6), 3)." EiB";

A simple function for return the length of a link, or a file.

<?php

function urlfilesize($url,$thereturn) {

if (substr($url,0,4)=='http') { 

$x = array_change_key_case(get_headers($url, 1),CASE_LOWER);

$x = $x['content-length'];

            }

else { $x = @filesize($url); }

if (!$thereturn) { return $x ; }

elseif($thereturn == 'mb') { return round($x / (1024*1024),2) ; }

elseif($thereturn == 'kb') { return round($x / (1024),2) ; }

}



?>

<?php

echo urlfilesize('http://www.tayo.fr/remote-irc-tutoriel.php','mb')

Another workaround for the >2GB "stat failed" in Linux is to call the systems stat as follows:



$size = exec ('stat -c %s '. escapeshellarg ($file_path));

This is a shorter (but not faster) code for the getsize function, will work for files and folders.

<?php

function getsize($path){

    if (!is_dir($path))

        return filesize($path);

    $size=0;

    foreach (scandir($path) as $file){

        if ($file=='.' or $file=='..')

            continue;

    $size+=getsize($path.'/'.$file);

  }

  return $size;

}

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).



    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 = $file->Size;

            }

        return $size;

I found a mistake in note from "RobKohrPhp at remail dot robkohr dot com, 04-Feb-2006 09:42".

His simplified function isn't working correct:



<?php

function get_size($path)

{

  if (!is_dir($path)) return filesize($path);

  if ($handle = opendir($path)) {

    $size = 0;

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

      if($file!='.' && $file!='..'){

        $size += filesize($path.'/'.$file); // this line affects that size of file is added two times

        $size += get_size($path.'/'.$file);

      }

    }

    closedir($handle);

    return $size;

  }

}

?>



marked line affects that size of file is added two times, because function get_size is called on the next line, which adds a size correctly (if $file is dir, it will be add only with get_size calling, if $file is a file, it will be add with both functions filesize and get_size)



Here is a correction:



<?php

function get_size($path)

{

  if(!is_dir($path)) return filesize($path);

  if ($handle = opendir($path)) {

    $size = 0;

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

      if($file!='.' && $file!='..') {

        // function filesize has been deleted

        $size += get_size($path.'/'.$file);

      }

    }

    closedir($handle);

    return $size;

  }

}

This script checks whether the file is large enough for the next unit and calculates them.

Example:

  29249 bytes => 28.56 KB

  10083695 bytes => 9.62 MB



function get_size($size) {

$bytes = array('B','KB','MB','GB','TB');

  foreach($bytes as $val) {

   if($size > 1024){

    $size = $size / 1024;

   }else{

    break;

   }

  }

  return round($size, 2)." ".$val;

On 64-bit platforms, this seems quite reliable for getting the filesize of files > 4GB



                        $a = fopen($filename, 'r');

                        fseek($a, 0, SEEK_END);

                        $filesize = ftell($a);

                        fclose($a);

filesize() acts differently between platforms and distributions.



I tried manually compiling PHP on a 32bit platform. Filesize() would fail on files >2G.



Then I compiled again, adding CFLAGS=`getconf LFS_CFLAGS` in front of configure.



Then filesize() would success, but the result would be converted to a 32bit signed integer...



However on 64bit systems, PHP's integers are 64bit signed, and this would work just well...



So now the question is : should linux distributions (Debian, etc) define LFS_CFLAGS or not ? Doing so makes PHP be able to open/seek such files, but makes its behaviour buggy (stat() is supposed to fail if file size is >32bit and appl does not support such integers)...

                $size = foldersize($path . "/" . $t);

                // print("Dir - $path/$t = $size<br>\n");

                $total_size += $size;

I just noticed, that filesize(), filemtime() etc. only work correctly on Mac OS X if the file's directory is executable for the PHP process. Otherwise it will report "stat failed for <filepathandname>".

Though probably slower, strlen(file_get_contents("file.txt")) might give the same results.

the fastest way to get the correct filesize in windows an linux would be this:





<?php


  echo sprintf("%u", filesize($file));


?>





It prints the result of filesize as UNSIGNED INT so it can be until 4GB. 


The reason is, SIGNED INT runs until 2GB and flips to -2GB watch following:





file<2GB      = SIGNED:  1048576512 UNSIGNED: 1048576512 


file>2GB      = SIGNED: -2100140103 UNSIGNED: 2194827193 


file<4GB      = SIGNED:  -100662784 UNSIGNED: 4194304512

@l0co at wp dot pl:



fopen with w+:

Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.



in the second case, it will be:



<?php

$f = fopen($filename, 'w+'); // Now file specified in the $filename will be zero byte length

echo filesize($filename); //now filesize return zero

fclose($f);

?>



Did you mean that or something other?

Here is a simple addition to the original example that i have made.

First of all i must mention that i need to list all files in a dir and i do know all files names.

Because the filenames contains an INT at the same place in every file's name i use $n++ to generate the file names.

The code:

<?php



// outputs e.g.  bits_01.jpg: 0.05 kb

//lets asign a value of 1 so we can start with file bits_01.jpg

$n = 1;

//the last file is bits_09.jpg so i call the WHILE until $n gets a value of 9

while ($n < 10) {

//using $n in each file's name

    $filename = 'bits_0'.$n.'.jpg';

//getting the file size - from original example

    $size = filesize($filename);

//while i don't wan't the result in bytes instead i divide by 1024 to print it out in kilo bytes (if you need it in MB then divide it by 1048576

//at the same line we round the result to the fourth sign after the comma

    $sizemb = round(($size/1024),4);

//printing the result

//filename : size MB and brake to print next on the next line

    echo $filename . ': ' . $sizemb . ' kb<br />';

//now after i've printed the first file and it's size, we proceed to the next one

    $n++;

}

?>



Hope it is useful to someone.



P.S

Please excuse my bad English :-)

Here's a dodgy little snippet I made to find out how much disk space (in 1K-blocks) any chosen node - file or directory - occupies in the file system..



function nodesize( $node )

{

    if( !is_readable($node) ) return false; 

    $blah = exec( "/usr/bin/du -sk $node" );

    return substr( $blah, 0, strpos($blah, 9) );

}



The character I search for with strpos() is a tab, as this is what 'du' on OpenBSD uses to separate size and node in the output - this might be whitespaces in other *nixes/distributions.

I created another dirsize() function which doesn't use recursion.

I gained a ~2-3% performance boost while it uses ~50% lesser memory!



<?php

function dirsize($dirname) {

    if (!is_dir($dirname) || !is_readable($dirname)) {

        return false;

    }



    $dirname_stack[] = $dirname;

    $size = 0;



    do {

        $dirname = array_shift($dirname_stack);

        $handle = opendir($dirname);

        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

            if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && is_readable($dirname . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file)) {

                if (is_dir($dirname . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file)) {

                    $dirname_stack[] = $dirname . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file;

                }

                $size += filesize($dirname . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file);

            }

        }

        closedir($handle);

    } while (count($dirname_stack) > 0);



    return $size;

}

?>

Just to notice: open_basedir is in effect on this function ;)

simple addition to function remotefsize by Josh Finlay(http part):

(sometimes servers send headers in lower case)



if (($sch == "http") || ($sch == "https")) {

            $headers = array_change_key_case(get_headers($url, 1),CASE_LOWER);

            if ((!array_key_exists("content-length", $headers))) { return false; }

            return $headers["content-length"];

        }

Note that functions written in PHP which get directory size     recursively are much slower than just calling `du`.

I hope this short code snipet will help someone:)



<?php



function dirsize($path)

{

  $old_path = getcwd();

  if(!is_dir($old_path."/".$path)) return -1;

  $size = trim(shell_exec("cd \"".$old_path."/".$path."\"; du -sb; cd \"".$old_path."\";"), "\x00..\x2F\x3A..\xFF");



  return $size;

}



P.S. trim() remove here all nonprintable an non-digit chars which appear in the output of `du`

There is a lot of functions for size of dir. But drive operations are slow, so if you want use those functions many times in one script, it's too slow. You can use this small function instead:



<?php

function dirsize($dir,$buf=2)

{

  static $buffer;

  if(isset($buffer[$dir]))

    return $buffer[$dir];

  if(is_file($dir))

    return filesize($dir);

  if($dh=opendir($dir))

  {

    $size=0;

    while(($file=readdir($dh))!==false)

    {

      if($file=='.' || $file=='..')

        continue;

      $size+=dirsize($dir.'/'.$file,$buf-1);

    }

    closedir($dh);

    if($buf>0)

      $buffer[$dir]=$size;

    return $size;

  }

  return false;

}

?>



What does it do? It save size in static array to cache result. You can choose deep value (e.q. if you want cache only first dir, use dirsize($dirname,1);).

9U's snippet actually returns an array for Content-Length.



To get the filesize in bytes you'd want to say



$filesize = $ary_header['Content-Length'][1];

I know there has been alot of remote filesize snippets posted, but I'll post mine also.



It supports HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/FTPS and detects which type it should use. It needs --enable-ftp for the FTP/FTPS functions.



I hope this works for someone.



<?php

    function remotefsize($url) {

        $sch = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_SCHEME);

        if (($sch != "http") && ($sch != "https") && ($sch != "ftp") && ($sch != "ftps")) {

            return false;

        }

        if (($sch == "http") || ($sch == "https")) {

            $headers = get_headers($url, 1);

            if ((!array_key_exists("Content-Length", $headers))) { return false; }

            return $headers["Content-Length"];

        }

        if (($sch == "ftp") || ($sch == "ftps")) {

            $server = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST);

            $port = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PORT);

            $path = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);

            $user = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_USER);

            $pass = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PASS);

            if ((!$server) || (!$path)) { return false; }

            if (!$port) { $port = 21; }

            if (!$user) { $user = "anonymous"; }

            if (!$pass) { $pass = "phpos@"; }

            switch ($sch) {

                case "ftp":

                    $ftpid = ftp_connect($server, $port);

                    break;

                case "ftps":

                    $ftpid = ftp_ssl_connect($server, $port);

                    break;

            }

            if (!$ftpid) { return false; }

            $login = ftp_login($ftpid, $user, $pass);

            if (!$login) { return false; }

            $ftpsize = ftp_size($ftpid, $path);

            ftp_close($ftpid);

            if ($ftpsize == -1) { return false; }

            return $ftpsize;

        }

    }

the "remote file size" snippet below is cool but only works in php5 since get_headers() is not supported in php4.

# Remote file size

$filename = 'http://www.url.com/image.jpg';

$ary_header = get_headers($filename, 1);        

            

$filesize = $ary_header['Content-Length'];

$type = $ary_header['Content-Type'];

To get the size of files above 2GB you can use the linux-command filesize like this:



<?php

    function real_filesize_linux($file) {

        @exec("filesize $file",$out,$ret);

        if ( $ret <> '0' ) return FALSE;

        else return($out[0]); 

    }

?>

If you want to get the actual filesize for a size above 2 gb in Windows, you can use the COM-extensions in PHP.



An example is as follows:



<?

    function knj_filesize($file){

        if (file_exists($file)){

            $fsobj = new COM("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

            $file = $fsobj->GetFile($file);

            $var = ($file->Size) + 1 - 1;

            

            return $var;

        }else{

            echo "File does not exist.\n";

            return false;

        }

    }

?>



This will return the corrent filesize. And it is very useful with PHP-GTK applications, where you want to use the filesize for larger files.



This example also works for files over a Windows-network. Try this example with the function:



<?

   echo knj_filesize("//mycomputer/music/Track1.mp3");

?>



Happy hacking :)

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

ReadHeader() function is listed in previous post

(param description is placed there too).



<?php

function remote_filesize_thru( $ipAddress, $url, $counter302 = 5 )

{

    $socket = fsockopen( "10.233.225.2", 8080 );

    if( !$socket )

    {

        // failed to open TCP socket connection

        // do something sensible here besides exit();

        echo "<br>failed to open socket for [$ipAddress]";

        exit();

    }

                    

    // just send HEAD request to server

    $head = "HEAD $url HTTP/1.0\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n";

    // you may use HTTP/1.1 instead, then your request head string _must_ contain "Host: " header

    fwrite( $socket, $head );

        

    // read the response header

    $header = ReadHeader( $socket );

    if( !$header )

    {

        // handle empty response here the way you need...

        Header( "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found" );

        exit();

    }

    

    fclose( $socket );

    

    // check for "Location" header

    $locationMarker = "Location: ";

    $pos = strpos( $header, $locationMarker );

    if( $pos > 0 )

    {

            $counter302--;

            if( $counter302 < 0 )

            {

                     // redirect limit (5 by default) expired -- return some warning or do something sensible here

                    echo "warning: too long redirection sequence";

                    return 0;

            }



            // Location is present -- we should determine target host and move there, like any downloading masters do...

            // no need to use regex here

            $end = strpos( $header, "\n", $pos );

            $location = trim( substr( $header, $pos + strlen( $locationMarker ), $end - $pos - strlen( $locationMarker ) ), "\\r\\n" );

             

             // extract pure host (without "http://")

             $host = explode( "/", $location );

             $ipa = gethostbyname( $host[2] );

             // move to Location

             return remote_filesize_thru( $ipa, $location, $counter302 );

    }

        

    // try to acquire Content-Length within the response

    $regex = '/Content-Length:\s([0-9].+?)\s/';

    $count = preg_match($regex, $header, $matches);

                        

    // if there was a Content-Length field, its value

    // will now be in $matches[1]

    if( isset( $matches[1] ) )

          $size = $matches[1];

    else

          $size = 0;

    

    return $size;

}

core58 at mail dot ru, it did save me time!



One note though. I had to add the Host: header in order to get it working. The value should be the host name (DNS, not IP).

this is "raw" version of remote_filesize() function.

according to RFC, HTTP servers MUST implement at least GET, POST and HEAD requests, so the function just opens TCP socket connection, sends HEAD request and receives response, parsing length of the resource.

[$ipAddress] is the ip address of remote server.

[$url] is the name of file which size you want to determine.



the code was tested under Apache 2.0.43 and IIS 6.0 and it works correctly in both cases.

i wish the code can save someone's time :)



example:

$ipa = gethostbyname( "www.someserver.com" );

$url = "/docs/somedocument.pdf";



$fsize = remote_filesize2( $ipa, $url );



==========================



<?php



function ReadHeader( $socket )

{

    $i=0;

    $header = "";

    while( true && $i<20 )

    {

        // counter [$i] is used here to avoid deadlock while reading header string

        // it's limited by [20] here cause i really haven't ever met headers with string counter greater than 20

        // *

        $s = fgets( $socket, 4096 );

        $header .= $s;



        if( strcmp( $s, "\r\n" ) == 0 || strcmp( $s, "\n" ) == 0 )

            break;

        $i++;

    }

    if( $i >= 20 )

    {

        // suspicious header strings count was read

        // *

        return false;

    }



    return $header;

}



function remote_filesize2( $ipAddress, $url )

{

    $socket = fsockopen( $ipAddress, 80 );

    if( !$socket )

    {

        // failed to open TCP socket connection

        // do something sensible here besides exit();

        // ...

        exit();

        

    }



    // just send HEAD request to server

    // *

    fwrite( $socket, "HEAD $url HTTP/1.0\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n" );

    

    // read the response header

    // *

    $header = ReadHeader( $socket );

    if( !$header )

    {

        Header( "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found" );

        exit();

    }



    // try to acquire Content-Length within the response

    // *

    $regex = '/Content-Length:\s([0-9].+?)\s/';

    $count = preg_match($regex, $header, $matches);

   

    // if there was a Content-Length field, its value

    // will now be in $matches[1]

    if( isset( $matches[1] ) )

    {

        $size = $matches[1];

    }

    else

    {

        $size = 0;

    }

   

    fclose( $socket );

    return $size;

When read/writing binary files you often cannot rely on the feof() function being of much use, since it doesn't get triggered if the pointer is at the eof but hasn't tried to read one more byte. In this case you instead need to check if the file pointer is at filesize yet, but if you don't have the filename handy, you need to pluck it out fstat all the time. Two simple functions that would be nice to have natively in PHP:



<?php

    function fpfilesize(&$fp) { $stat = fstat($fp); return $stat["size"]; }



    function fpeof(&$fp) { return ftell($fp)==fpfilesize($fp); }

?>
