stat

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

mixed stat( string str, int default: 0 );

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, time_file_created })

If stat is called on a directory (not a regular file), or with a second
argument of -1, then stat() behaves identically to get_dir(3).
