filemtime(): stat failed for file.jpg

07/10/2007, 14h52

I get a warning message from filemtime() that looks in principle like this:
"stat failed for picture.jpg on line xxx"
filemtime($filename) then comes out empty.

This happens in a loop over all files (not only jpg) in a directory - the
same result for all files.
The files are definitely there.
What is wrong and how can it be cured?

Would appreciate some !

Would guess the filesystem you have don't support this function, I would
suggest you try it on an alternative filesystem like ext3 and see if you get a
difference.

You may have permission problems with the file. Make sure it is readable
to whichever user apache runs under. Can you open the file to read okay?

Yes, the files are all readable.
I deleted the directory with its content, made a new directory with the same
name, ran the file generating program again and then ran this sequence that
contains filemtime() - the same result! Restart does not either.
I guess that the error message means that the file status information cannot
be found/read? Where is that stored? Can I read it somehow? That might give
a hint about what is wrong...

I'm afraid that this information is part of the filesystem and not
normally accessible. As J.O. Aho said, your filesystem might be the
problem. Which one are you using?

I found it at last!
The file name I gave in "filemtime" was just the file name - I forgot to
include the path!
Unbelievable - how stupid can you get?!
