fstat

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

fstatGets information about a file using an open file pointer

Description

fstat(resource $stream): array|false

Gathers the statistics of the file opened by the file pointer stream. This function is similar to the stat() function except that it operates on an open file pointer instead of a filename.

Parameters

stream

A file system pointer resource that is typically created using fopen().

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. Returns false on failure.

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($fstat13));

?>

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.
