stat
Gives information about a file
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL maxdb:7.5.00.24-7.6.00.38)
array stat ( string filename )
Gathers the statistics of the file named by filename. If filename is a symbolic link, statistics are from the file itself, not the symlink.
lstat() is identical to stat() except it would instead be based off the symlinks status.
