I'm afraid I don't understand what you want. The size of a file is its
size in bytes, that is its size on the disk. So what else?

Actually if right click on any file or folder on a machine you will see that
there are two values (Size on disk & Size). Files and folders are stored on
the disk in what is called clusters (a group of disk sectors). Size on disk
refers to the amount of cluster allocation a file is taking up, compared to
file size which is an actual byte count.
As I mentioned before what I want is a function for getting the result for
the Size no for Size on Disk

Thank you Mickey, but I have already looked in there and the function posted
in the notes is working just fine for getting the size on disk which I am
not interested in, I need the actual size that when you download a file to a
machine you will get..

If the function itself isn't of use to you, look further down in the
notes and I am sure you will find something useful.

okay then what about this?
function real_filesize_linux($file) {
@exec("filesize $file",$out,$ret);
if ( $ret <> '0' ) return FALSE;
else return($out[0]);
}
if you want it on a remote machine, you should use something like
ssh2_exec() instead of exec()
hope that helps

He was interested on using it over HTTP, not over SSH...
I don't know if there are faster ways, but you could open a socket to the
host on port 80, get the file, and only read the header where it says
content-length: 400 for example, then you know the file is 400bytes when you
download it.
something like:
$socket = fsockopen($host,$port);
$size = 0;
while($size == 0)
{
$line = fgets($socket);
if(strlen($line) >= 17)
{
if(substr(strtolower($line),0,14) == "content-length")
{
$size = substr($line,16)
}
}
Now your remote file size is in $size.
It is not too fast, but everything in PHP is fast and so is this.

This question has come up before, and out of curiosity I did some
checking. If you use firefox liveheaders, it turns out that the file
size on the linux file system is exactly the size shown in the
content-length header. This is also the same size as returned by php's
filesize() and by the php stat() in its size element. Linux reports the
actual file size, not the storage size, which you can get by asking to
see the number of blocks used to store the file (ls -ls).
I wrote a small perl script which returns the bytes read when a file is
read from the disk and it, too, agrees with the filesize and header
sizes. In Windows, the actual filesize is also returned by filesize and
stat, not the size on disk (filesize uses stat). Also, in the PHP
manual, the fread example uses filesize to set the number of bytes to read:
| contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
|The point of this is to read in the exact number of bytes for the file,
not the entire size of the file's storage on disk which would contain
garbage. This has to work on both windows and linux.
Here's the perl script:
use strict;
use Fcntl;
sysopen (FH, "index.htm", O_RDONLY);
my $buffer;
my $len = sysread(FH, $buffer, 8192,0);
print $len,"\n";
If you are really anxious about size you can exec out to this script and
get the file size.

In PHP 5 some things changed, and that's why they first check if PHP version
is 5 or greater, if so, it constructs this class and function in PHP5 style,
else it uses older syntax.
You might want to take a look at this manual page:

Hi guys, I have just read 'Programming PHP' (O'Reilly) and although I think
it's a great book, I am confused about variable variables and references -
not the mechanics, just where you would use them.
The subject of variable variables is explained but no examples are given as
to why and where you would utilise them.
As for references, the examples given with regard to passing and returning
by reference in functions is clear, but no real examples are given as to
when this would be a preferred approcah - in fact, the authors stress that
due to PHP's copy-on-write mechanism, it is not a frequently-used approcah.
So my question - are there any 'classic' situations in which either should
be used, and where and when do you guys use them in your real-world efforts?

I must say, in all the years i am programming with PHP (about 5-6 years) i
NEVER used references.
So i don't find it useful, but well, if you want to give your variable
content more than one name, you can :)
I think you just need to start programming now, keeping in mind they are
available, but don't use them if it isn't needed.

I've used variable variables probably 5 times in 2 years. They are great when
you need them, but don't usually have a day-to-day use for them.
Here is some sample code of the last time I used it.
if(isset($$key))
{
print($$key);
continue;
} else {
$iquery = "SELECT * FROM `".ROSTER_ITEMSTABLE."` WHERE
`item_name` = '".$iname."' AND `member_id` = '".$row['member_id']."'";
$iresult = $wowdb->query($iquery);
$idata = $wowdb->fetch_assoc($iresult);
$item = new item($idata);
$$key = $item->out();
print $$key;
}
Basically, this is in a for-each loop, that steps through a list of keys for
certain dungeons in World of Warcraft. Instead of putting the data into an
array, I used variable variables to stick the data into a single variable. The
way it works is $key = 'DM'; $$key = $data; The literal translation for $$key
is $DM once the code executes.
Hope this helps.

In this case i should use an array, i think it's easier to use an array...
Array in an array in an array :)
But ofcourse sometimes you might (think you) need it.

I'd agree with Tijnema! here, variable variables aren't really of any
use here. However, a classic snippet of code is where one emulates
register_globals functionality in a non-register_globals environment
(not a good idea to do this btw, unless you know what you're doing and
don't have any other way around it):
foreach($_POST as $key=>$val) {
$$key = $val;
}
thus creating all
$image,$whatever,$and,$some,$more variables magically for you.

print $$key;
}
Basically, this is in a for-each loop, that steps through a list of keys
for certain dungeons in World of Warcraft. Instead of putting the
data into
an array, I used variable variables to stick the data into a single
variable. The way it works is $key = 'DM'; $$key = $data; The literal
translation for $$key is $DM once the code executes.
Hope this helps.
In this case i should use an array, i think it's easier to use an array...
Array in an array in an array :)
But ofcourse sometimes you might (think you) need it.

Subject: [PHP] Variable variables and references
Hi guys, I have just read 'Programming PHP' (O'Reilly) and although I
think
it's a great book, I am confused about variable variables and
references -
not the mechanics, just where you would use them.
The subject of variable variables is explained but no examples are given
as
to why and where you would utilise them.
As for references, the examples given with regard to passing and
returning
by reference in functions is clear, but no real examples are given as to
when this would be a preferred approcah - in fact, the authors stress
that
due to PHP's copy-on-write mechanism, it is not a frequently-used
approcah.
So my question - are there any 'classic' situations in which either
should
be used, and where and when do you guys use them in your real-world
efforts?

Hi,
again me with the silly questions...
I need a script that will take data from MySQL database and display
one row each day.
I have googled, but with no luck.
The database retrieving mechanism is of course clear but I really
dont know how to do a 24h delay before the next row is displayed.
If you're going to do that, then I suspect that you have at least 365 jokes.
If that's the case, then just use the data(z) function to pull of the
joke who's id is the same as the day of the year. Simple enough. See:

Hi,
I'm continuing to work on securing my administration part of the website.
based on previous posts and reading materials, I was thinking to use the
following process :
1. user has to logon through a standard "http://"; web page
2. login and encrypted password are compared with what is stored in
database, if it is the same, the user reach point 3. if not, an error
message is displayed.
3. after successful authentication, user is redirected to https:// pages, a
session is opened in PHP and the sessionID is stored in database with user
data.
4. sessions holds encrypted password and every time that users do an action,
sessionID is compared with the one in DB, as session encrypted password is
compared with the one stored in DB. if everything match, action is
performed. if not sessions is ended and user is redirected to logon page.
A. do you think is enough secured like that ?
B. i still do not understand how to be sure that user still use https (SSL
protocol) ?
for point B, my first task in PHP page, is to check if port is 443. But i'm
not sure that it is correct.
thanks a lot for your feedback.

To be even more secure, do the login part also through SSL (https://)
B. i still do not understand how to be sure that user still use https (SSL

It looks like it is correct, but maybe some silly webserver would allow
http:// over port 443.
thanks a lot for your feedback.

Indeed; there's little point securing the house (the admin website)
if you leave the keys outside (transmit the password in plaintext via
standard HTTP).
B. i still do not understand how to be sure that user still use https (SSL

It looks like it is correct, but maybe some silly webserver would allow
http:// over port 443.
Under Apache, you can check the Apache environment variable HTTPS
(eg; via $_SERVER['HTTPS']). If it exists and equals 'on' you're ok
regardless of port. Also would suggest using Apache mod_ssl
SSLRequireSSL for the directories that should be SSL-secured.

Hi all, i am building a system using php and am trying to separate the html
codes from the php codes (i.e. placing them in separate files), I am from the
java struts/spring background and seem to be finding it difficult doing that at
the moment with php.
I've got a registration form in html with the action pointing to a separate
php file that will process the form when submitted. when i want to output
errors or messages, its currently being outputed in the resulting code
generated by the php file. What i would like is to return to the html page and
display the messages there.
Can someone help me with ways of doing this pls ?
Cheers

Just because they're in separate files doesn't mean they need to be in
separate requests.

You have it ass backwards. You generally want an registration form in
html that has an action targetting itself and upon submission the
handling code is called.

This is why you want to submit to the same page as the form is
displayed, in the event of an error you just redisplay the form and the
errors are already populated for you to print.
On the other hand if the form is submitted correctly then you redirect
to a nice little success page. This way you won't need to do error
message juggling via the session data.
Cheers,
Rob.

I want to convert weekdays with a simple function like
$wdays = array
(0 => "Sonntag"
,1 => "Montag"
,2 => "Dienstag"
,3 => "Mittwoch"
,4 => "Donnerstag"
,5 => "Freitag"
,6 => "Samstag"
);
function convert_from_weekday ($weekday) {
return $wdays[$weekday];
}
but this doesn't work while
$wdays[$weekday];
outside of the function works correct. Has anybody an idea where's my
mistake? I'd like to use a function so I may return substrings of the
weekday.
