stat

Name

stat() - returns information pertaining to a file or a directory

Synopsis

mixed stat( string str );
mixed stat( string str, int flag );

Description

If `str' is the name of a regular file (not a directory), then stat() will return an array of information pertaining to that file. The form of the array is as follows:

({ file_size, last_time_file_touched, time_object_loaded })

If stat is called on a directory (not a regular file), or with `flag' being -1, then stat() behaves identically to get_dir().
