Preserved Topic: PHP filesize() problem (Page 1 of 1)

Don't really know why this doesn't always / mostly work:

$fp = fopen("mylocalfile.bin");
$buf=fread($fp, filesize($fp));
fclose($fp);

the error occurs when PHP calls the filesize()...why is he failing to return the file size? but it's a local file?!

filesize() function expects filename as parameter, not file handle...

$fs = filesize("c:/max/max.txt");

Thanks mr. Max...
stupid me...i never took a look at it's syntax! though it needed a file handle instead.
