filesize() returns 0 bytes after file_put_contents

[David Vandemaele]

Hello,

in the createFile function i store the file to a specific location, and afterwards, I save the information in the database for future reference.

The file is saved, but 'filesize()' returns 0 bytes. The variable $bytes contains also the value '0'. And of course, the mime_type utility function (using 'finfo_file()') returns 'application/x-empty').

This is the function:

public function createFile($name, $data = null) {

$bytes = file_put_contents($name, $data);

 

$file = new File();

$file->mimetype = Util::mime_type($name);

$file->name = $name;

$file->size = filesize($name);

$file->save();

}

How can I get the correct values?

Thanks in advance.

You probably need to call this:

I'm not sure, $bytes should give you the bytes written. Can you check the file in the console or so, if it really has the content you expect? I would guess that you have other problems, maybe permissions or not enough space.
Please check with is_writable()
http://de2.php.net/manual/en/function.is-writable.php

The current PHP/Webserver user must have write access to that file/directory.

If the file is really there and has content (verify in command line or via FTP or so), then maybe it's the statcache.

Hi Michael,

The file is saved correctly. I can access it afterwards through DAV or command line.

The clearstatcache doesn't seems to help.

If I upload the file through the browser plugin, then everything works fine.

The only difference I can come up with is that it's a POST action instead of a PUT.
