Description
array
fstat ( resource handle )
Gathers the statistics of the file opened by the file
pointer handle. This function is similar to the
stat() function except that it operates
on an open file pointer instead of a filename.
Returns an array with the statistics of the file; the format of the array
is described in detail on the stat() manual page.
Example 1. fstat() example
<?php
// open a file
$fp = fopen("/etc/passwd", "r");
// gather statistics
$fstat = fstat($fp);
// close the file
fclose($fp);
// print only the associative part
print_r(array_slice($fstat, 13));
?>

The above example will output
something similar to: Array
(
[dev] => 771
[ino] => 488704
[mode] => 33188
[nlink] => 1
[uid] => 0
[gid] => 0
[rdev] => 0
[size] => 1114
[atime] => 1061067181
[mtime] => 1056136526
[ctime] => 1056136526
[blksize] => 4096
[blocks] => 8

Note: This function will not work on
remote files as the file to
be examined must be accessible via the servers filesystem.
