File size of big files

[luzik]

Files like 4GB are do not shows size at all

[halgatewood]

I'm using the built-in PHP function filesize. Here is a note on that page:

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.

In user notes section of this manual page there are few resolution for this issue.
Please consider using something like:

<?php
/**
* Return file size (even for file > 2 Gb)
* For file size over PHP_INT_MAX (2 147 483 647), PHP filesize function loops from -PHP_INT_MAX to PHP_INT_MAX.
*
* @param string $path Path of the file
* @return mixed File size or false if error
*/
function realFileSize($path)
{
    if (!file_exists($path))
        return false;

    $size = filesize($path);
    
    if (!($file = fopen($path, 'rb')))
        return false;
    
    if ($size >= 0)
    {//Check if it really is a small file (< 2 GB)
        if (fseek($file, 0, SEEK_END) === 0)
        {//It really is a small file
            fclose($file);
            return $size;
        }
    }
    
    //Quickly jump the first 2 GB with fseek. After that fseek is not working on 32 bit php (it uses int internally)
    $size = PHP_INT_MAX - 1;
    if (fseek($file, PHP_INT_MAX - 1) !== 0)
    {
        fclose($file);
        return false;
    }
    
    $length = 1024 * 1024;
    while (!feof($file))
    {//Read the file until end
        $read = fread($file, $length);
        $size = bcadd($size, $length);
    }
    $size = bcsub($size, $length);
    $size = bcadd($size, strlen($read));
    
    fclose($file);
    return $size;
}
