Can get filesize! help

There is a difference between the full system path and a URL. Many PHP coders work "relatively," that is, "relative to wherever you are at this moment." This often works, but sometimes doesn't, which is where I think you are now.

When you're doing file operations, use the full path to root: $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. When you're doing URL's, use the domain's root, '/'.

When you read a directory, it gets the file name, but it doesn't get the full path to that file. Assuming "path" is just some directory, like "myfiles," try

function printFile($i, $file, $path)
{
$fullpath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/' . $path . $file;
$fsize = filesize($fullpath);
echo "<li><img src=\"/images/doc.jpg\">&nbsp;<font class=\"list\">$i</font> - <a href=\"/".$path.$file."\" target=\"new\"><img src=\"/view.php?src=".$path.$file."&amp;w=180&amp;q=100&amp;s=1&amp;f=11' align=\"absmiddle\"></a> (size: $fsize) | <a href=\"/includes/delete.php?file=".$path.$file."&amp;delete=true\" class=\"button red medium\">Delete This Image</a>
</li>";

}

Note the leading / before $path (and throughout your code) in the URL. Always start at domain root for URL's. Use full system paths for file operations. Print $fullpath to the browser to debug.

hi rocknbil

im getting error msg using ur coding

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/domain/#*$!x/#*$!/

i did tried to get using full path
filesize(/home/domain/#*$!/01.jpg) but it still echoing the file name but empty size.

Please help

hi rocknbil,

i cant seem to be able to get the filesize inside the function
function printFile($i, $file, $path) as it does increment the files inside my folder but i if i test the coding outside the function eg: $fsize = filesize('../folder/01.jpg');
echo "$fsize"; it works but it only get 1 file sizes and this is not what i want.

How do u get the correct coding inside function printFile($i, $file, $path)

hi rocknbil,

Regarding to my early reply error msg: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/domain/#*$!x/#*$!/. i have miss out the semicolon at the end of your coding but i still can't get the filesize and instead a Warning error

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for /home/domain/public_html/site_com/../folder/CIB_1.jpg in /home/domain/public_html/site_com/admin/script.php on line 183

hi rocknbil,

i have sorted out the filesize using your coding. You coding seem not working on my side and empty size but if i changed the $fullpath to "$path/$dir/$file" it worked out great and filesize were showing up on my page like a charm!

Thanks Rocknbil for showing me your coding advice :)

$fullpath = "$path/$dir/$file";
$fsize = filesize($fullpath);

Once again . . . anything posted on this forum (by me, at least) is not copy and paste code unless you explicitly see "working example" or "tested code" in the post. These are all typed on the fly and for assistance only. Glad you worked it out.
