fread filesize error

How do I take care of this?

[IamStang]

Here is the error:

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for 8192 in grabinfo.php on line 103

Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0. in grabinfo.php on line 103

This is line 103:

$text = fread($hi,filesize($myFile));

Now, as I am still learning, isnt filesize($myfile) supposed to get the size from the file?

This script processes several large text files of varying sizes with some being fairly large. How can I avoid getting this error?

At first I thought it was due to the file not containing any text, but I checked it and it does indeed contain text.

Any help is appreciated.

Found my answer!

use file_get_contents("filename.ext"); insted of fread. Seems to work so far.

Mods, can delete this post unless you feel it is needed for others.

Are any of those large files larger than 2GB?

[IamStang]

no

Largest is maybe 2mb.

stat failed for 8192

I would try dumping the $myFile variable out to see what is in it, looks like an integer to me, not a (string) filename. filesize() expects a string filename as the only parameter.

int filesize [php.net] ( string filename )
