filesize function not working

Outputs stat failed: WHY?

[dbarasuk]

HI,
Can anyone know what's wrong with the next small piece of code?

<?php
$file = "C:/htdocs/Myname/HTML/accueil.php";
// calculate size in bytes
$bytes = filesize($file);
$kilobytes = round($bytes/1024, 0);
printf("File %s is %d bytes or %d kilobytes", basename($file), $bytes, $kilobytes);
?>

It's outputting:

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for C:/htdocs/Myname/HTML/accueil.php in C:\htdocs\filesize.php on line 4

Line 4 refers to $bytes = filesize($file);

Thanks for your help

Is the directory writeable? Check the notes on the PHP website to see if anything is mentioned there?

The warning is saying that the stat call (it gets the file statistics) didn't work. Does the file exist? Can it be accessed?

Try opening the file. If it doesn't open, check the error code. That might tell you a lot.
