stat

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

stat给出文件的信息

说明

array stat ( string $filename )

获取由 filename 指定的文件的统计信息。如果 filename 是符号连接,则统计信息是关于被连接文件本身的,而不是符号连接。lstat()stat() 相同,只除了它会返回符号连接的状态。

如果出错,stat() 返回 FALSE,并且发出一条警告。

返回一个数组包含有文件的统计信息,该数组具有以下列出的单元,数组下标从零开始。除了数字索引之外自 PHP 4.0.6 起还可以通过关联索引来访问。

stat()fstat() 返回格式
数字下标 关联键名(自 PHP 4.0.6) 说明
0 dev device number - 设备名
1 ino inode number - inode 号码
2 mode inode protection mode - inode 保护模式
3 nlink number of links - 被连接数目
4 uid userid of owner - 所有者的用户 id
5 gid groupid of owner- 所有者的组 id
6 rdev device type, if inode device * - 设备类型,如果是 inode 设备的话
7 size size in bytes - 文件大小的字节数
8 atime time of last access (unix timestamp) - 上次访问时间(Unix 时间戳)
9 mtime time of last modification (unix timestamp) - 上次修改时间(Unix 时间戳)
10 ctime time of last change (unix timestamp) - 上次改变时间(Unix 时间戳)
11 blksize blocksize of filesystem IO * - 文件系统 IO 的块大小
12 blocks number of blocks allocated - 所占据块的数目
* - 仅在支持 st_blksize 类型的系统下有效。其它系统(如 Windows)返回 -1。

参数

filename

Path to the file.

返回值

stat() and fstat() result format
Numeric Associative (since PHP 4.0.6) Description
0 dev device number
1 ino inode number *
2 mode inode protection mode
3 nlink number of links
4 uid userid of owner *
5 gid groupid of owner *
6 rdev device type, if inode device
7 size size in bytes
8 atime time of last access (Unix timestamp)
9 mtime time of last modification (Unix timestamp)
10 ctime time of last inode change (Unix timestamp)
11 blksize blocksize of filesystem IO **
12 blocks number of 512-byte blocks allocated **
* On Windows this will always be 0.

** Only valid on systems supporting the st_blksize type - other systems (e.g. Windows) return -1.

In case of error, stat() returns FALSE.

Note: 因为 PHP 的整数类型是有符号整型而且很多平台使用32位整型, 对2GB以上的文件,一些文件系统函数可能返回无法预期的结果 。

错误/异常

Upon failure, an E_WARNING is emitted.

Regarding the stat() on files larger than 2GB on 32 bit systems not working, note that the behavior appears to differ between Linux and Windows.  Under Windows there's so way to know whether or not this failed.

It's been my experience that under Linux, performing a stat() on files that are too large for the integer size generates a warning and returns false.  However under Windows it silently truncates the high order bits of the size resulting in an incorrect number.  The only way you'd ever know it failed is in the event that the truncation happened to leave the sign bit on resulting in a negative size.  That is, there is _no_ reliable way to know it failed.

This is true of filesize() as well.

This is a souped up 'stat' function based on
many user-submitted code snippets and
@ http://www.askapache.com/security/chmod-stat.html

Give it a filename, and it returns an array like stat.

In response to the note whose first line is:
Re note posted by "admin at smitelli dot com"

I believe you have the conversion backwards. You should add an hour to filemtime if the system is in DST and the file is not. Conversely, you should subtract an hour if the file time is DST and the current OS time is not.

Here's a simplified, corrected version:
<?php
   
function getmodtime($file) { //returns the time a file was modified.
       
$mtime = filemtime($file);
       
//date('I') returns 1 if DST is on and 0 if off.
       
$diff = date('I')-date('I', $mtime);
       
//diff =  0 if file-time and os-time are both in the same DST setting
        //diff =  1 if os is DST and file is not
        //diff = -1 if file is DST and os is not
       
return $mtime + $diff*3600;
    }
?>
Here's a test:
<?php
   
//create two dummy files:
   
$file0 = 'file1.txt';
   
$file1 = 'file2.txt';
   
file_put_contents($file0, '');
   
file_put_contents($file1, '');
   
   
$time0=strtotime('Jan 1 2008 10:00'); echo 'Date0 (ST): ' . date(DATE_COOKIE, $time0)."\n";
   
$time1=strtotime('Aug 1 2008 10:00'); echo 'Date1 (DT): ' . date(DATE_COOKIE, $time1)."\n";
   
touch($file0, $time0); //set file0 to Winter (Non-DST)
   
touch($file1, $time1); //set file1 to Summer (DST)
   
   
$ftime0 = filemtime($file0);
   
$ftime1 = filemtime($file1);
    echo
"\nUncorrected: \n";
    echo
'File 0: ' . ($ftime0-$time0) ."\n";
    echo
'File 1: ' . ($ftime1-$time1) ."\n";
   
//if your system adjusts for DST, then _one_ of the above should be 3600 or -3600, depending on the time of year
   
   
$ftime0 = getmodtime($file0); //use filemtime correction
   
$ftime1 = getmodtime($file1); //use filemtime correction
   
echo "\nCorrected: \n";
    echo
'File 0: ' . ($ftime0-$time0) ."\n";
    echo
'File 1: ' . ($ftime1-$time1) ."\n";
   
//both of the corrected values output should be 0.
?>

Output:
------------------------------
(when run in summer)
------------------------------
Date0 (ST): Tuesday, 01-Jan-08 10:00:00 EST
Date1 (DT): Friday, 01-Aug-08 10:00:00 EDT

Uncorrected:
File 0: -3600
File 1: 0

Corrected:
File 0: 0
File 1: 0
------------------------------
(when run in winter--dates omitted)
------------------------------
Uncorrected:
File 0: 0
File 1: 3600

Corrected:
File 0: 0
File 1: 0

In response to Re note posted by "admin at smitelli dot com",  your version below gives the following output when substituted into my test:
------------------------------
(when run in summer--dates omitted)
------------------------------
Uncorrected:
File 0: -3600
File 1: 0

Corrected:
File 0: -7200
File 1: 0
------------------------------
You can see that the operation is the opposite of what it should be.

Another possibility to get the whole dir size, using "du" on Linux

$size = exec("du -sm /your/path | awk '{print $1}'");

Hellhound (03-Mar-2008 10:16)

To ignore index number or name specifics.. use:

list($dev, $ino, $mode, $nlink, $uid, $gid, $rdev, $size, $atime, $mtime, $ctime, $blksize, $blocks)
         = lstat($directory_element);

JulieC (31-Jan-2007 03:21)

The dir_size function provided by "marting.dc AT gmail.com" works great, except the $mas variable is not initialized.  Add:

   $mas = 0;

before the while() loop.

piranha-php dot net at thoughtcrime dot us (17-Jul-2006 01:04)

stat() returns a file's _status_, not its _statistics_.  "Statistics" implies information interpreted from the data of several files, not concrete meaning from a single file.  Both Linux and POSIX manual pages for stat() list the name as "stat - get file status," and do not mention the word "statistic" anywhere.

(...)to see if the file is a directory, after calling fstat, I do:

  ... this must be a directory

Then I say no no no no... it can be a directory or a named pipe, or a block spécial ...

The good code for this thing is :

<?php
if(($fstat['mode'] & 0170000) == 040000) echo "Be sure it is a directory !";

Re note posted by "admin at smitelli dot com"

I'm not sure how that can work all year round since you have to modify both opposing inside and outside DST based on the actual files themselves, as well as the current DST setting for the system.

e.g. using filemtime, same thing for stat.

<?php

$mtime
= filemtime($file);

if (
date('I') == 1) {
   
// Win DST is enabled, adjust standard time
    // files back to 'real' file UTC.
   
if (date('I', $mtime) == 0) {
       
$mtime -= 3600;
    }
} else {
   
// Win DST is disabled, adjust daylight time
    // files forward to 'real' file UTC.
   
if (date('I', $mtime) == 1) {
       
$mtime += 3600;
    }
}

echo
gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', $mtime);

?>

Just another example of why 'not' to use windows in a server room.

marting.dc AT gmail.com (29-Jan-2006 01:08)

If you want to know a directory size, this function will help you:

<?php
function dir_size($dir)
{
   
$handle = opendir($dir);
   
    while (
$file = readdir($handle)) {
        if (
$file != '..' && $file != '.' && !is_dir($dir.'/'.$file)) {
           
$mas += filesize($dir.'/'.$file);
            } else if (
is_dir($dir.'/'.$file) && $file != '..' && $file != '.') {
           
$mas += dir_size($dir.'/'.$file);
        }
    }
    return
$mas;
}
echo
dir_size('DIRECTORIO').' Bytes';
?>

admin at smitelli dot com (03-Nov-2005 07:27)

There's an important (yet little-known) problem with file dates on Windows and Daylight Savings. This affects the 'atime' and 'mtime' elements returned by stat(), and it also affects other filesystem-related functions such as fileatime() and filemtime().

During the winter months (when Daylight Savings isn't in effect), Windows will report a certain timestamp for a given file. However, when summer comes and Daylight Savings starts, Windows will report a DIFFERENT timestamp! Even if the file hasn't been altered at all, Windows will shift every timestamp it reads forward one full hour during Daylight Savings.

This all stems from the fact that M$ decided to use a hackneyed method of tracking file dates to make sure there are no ambiguous times during the "repeated hour" when DST ends in October, maintain compatibility with older FAT partitions, etc. An excellent description of what/why this is can be found at http://www.codeproject.com/datetime/dstbugs.asp

This is noteworthy because *nix platforms don't have this problem. This could introduce some hard-to-track bugs if you're trying to move scripts that track file timestamps between platforms.

I spent a fair amount of time trying to debug one of my own scripts that was suffering from this problem. I was storing file modification times in a MySQL table, then using that information to see which files had been altered since the last run of the script. After each Daylight Savings change, every single file the script saw was considered "changed" since the last run, since all the timestamps were off by +/- 3600 seconds.

This one-liner is probably one of the most incorrect fixes that could ever be devised, but it's worked flawlessly in production-grade environments... Assuming $file_date is a Unix timestamp you've just read from a file:

<?php
   
if (date('I') == 1) $file_date -= 3600;
?>

That will ensure that the timestamp you're working with is always consistently reported, regardless of whether the machine is in Daylight Savings or not.

Re note posted by "salisbm at hotmail dot com":

S_IFDIR is not a single-bit flag. It is a constant that relies on the "S_IFMT" bitmask. This bitmask should be applied to the "mode" parameter before comparing with any of the other "S_IF..." constants, as indicated by stat.h:

#define S_ISDIR(m)  (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR)

That is, this approach is incorrect:

<?php
define
('S_IFDIR',040000);
if (
$mode & S_IFDIR)
{
 
/*
    incorrect!
    format could be S_IFDIR, but also
    S_IFBLK, S_IFSOCK, or S_IFWHT.
  */
}
?>

...and should instead be:

<?php
define
('S_IFMT',0170000);
define('S_IFDIR',040000);
if (
S_IFDIR == ($mode & S_IFMT)) {  /* ... */  }
?>

As pointed out by "svend at svendtofte dot com", however, there is also the "is_dir" function for this purpose, along with "is_file" and "is_link" to cover the most common format types...

mpb dot mail at gmail dot com (17-Jul-2005 11:10)

If you are working with files larger than 2GB (and PHP's integer type is only 32 bits on your system) then you can try the following to get floating point sizes:

On FreeBSD:

$size = (float) exec ('stat -f %z '. escapeshellarg ($path));

On Linux:

$size = (float) exec ('stat -c %s '. escapeshellarg ($path));

(The other example that uses "ls" and "awk" does not properly escape the filename, but should work otherwise.)

If you have ftp (and the related sftp) protocols disabled on your remote server, it can be hard figuring out how to 'stat' a remote file. The following works for me:

<?php 

$conn
= ssh2_connect($host, 22);
ssh2_auth_password($conn, $user, $password);
$stream = ssh2_exec($conn, "stat $fileName > $remotedest");
ssh2_scp_recv($conn, $remotedest, $localdest);
$farray = file($localdest);
print_r($farray);
?>

stat() and SELinux,

You can have troubles to use the stat() function if the SELinux is enabled, so check the SELinux documentation or turn it off.

(11-Nov-2004 03:41)

If the 2GB limit is driving you crazy, you can use this complete hack.  use in place of filesize()

function file_size($file) {
  $size = filesize($file);
  if ( $size == 0)
    $size = exec("ls -l $file | awk '{print $5}'");
  return $size;
}

To the note of how you can figure out if a file is a folder or not, there is also the handy "is_dir" function.

salisbm at hotmail dot com (12-Aug-2003 01:21)

I was curious how I could tell if a file was a directory... so I found on http://www.hmug.org/man/2/stat.html the following information about the mode bits:
#define S_IFMT 0170000           /* type of file */
#define        S_IFIFO  0010000  /* named pipe (fifo) */
#define        S_IFCHR  0020000  /* character special */
#define        S_IFDIR  0040000  /* directory */
#define        S_IFBLK  0060000  /* block special */
#define        S_IFREG  0100000  /* regular */
#define        S_IFLNK  0120000  /* symbolic link */
#define        S_IFSOCK 0140000  /* socket */
#define        S_IFWHT  0160000  /* whiteout */
#define S_ISUID 0004000  /* set user id on execution */
#define S_ISGID 0002000  /* set group id on execution */
#define S_ISVTX 0001000  /* save swapped text even after use */
#define S_IRUSR 0000400  /* read permission, owner */
#define S_IWUSR 0000200  /* write permission, owner */
#define S_IXUSR 0000100  /* execute/search permission, owner */

Note that these numbers are in octal format.  Then, to check to see if the file is a directory, after calling fstat, I do:

if ($fstats[mode] & 040000)
  ... this must be a directory

ian at eiloart dot com (23-Jul-1999 04:52)

Here's what the UNIX man page on stat has to say about the difference between a file change and  a file modification:

st_mtime  Time when data was last modified.  Changed by  the following  functions:   creat(),  mknod(), pipe(), utime(), and write(2).

st_ctime  Time when file status was last  changed.   Changed by  the  following  functions: chmod(), chown(), creat(), link(2), mknod(), pipe(), unlink(2), utime(), and write().

So a modification is a change in the data, whereas a change also happens if you modify file permissions and so on.
