    well I need php to get filesize from a file in a different directory.

    <?php
$root = dirname(__FILE__);
$root_url = "http://mobilereelz.com/tones";
$sname = "0Sre4dwn4";
$dir_url_mp4 = $root.'/temp/'.$sname.'.m4a';
$get_size_mp4 = filesize("0Sre4dwn4.m4a");
$url_mp4 = $root_url."/temp/".$sname.".m4a";
$dir_test_mp4 = '/temp/'.$sname.'.m4a';
$dir_test = '/local/home/cavendan/mobilereelz.com/tones/temp/'.$sname.'.m4a';

echo $dir_url_mp4;
echo $url_mp4;
echo $dir_test_mp4;
echo $get_size_mp4;

?>
    PHP:
    As you can see alot of the variables are the same I was just playing around with them to find out which would work.
    $get_size_mp4 = filesize("0Sre4dwn4.m4a");
    works right now but only if I put this php file in the same folder...I need filesize to tell me the filesize but from a file in a different folder. I tried:
    $get_size_mp4 = filesize("temp/0Sre4dwn4.m4a");
    and that doesnt work

    any help is appreciated

    It does work, you probably put either the path wrong, or the filename (which is case-sensitive on UNIX systems).

    When you used this:
    
$get_size_mp4 = filesize("temp/0Sre4dwn4.m4a");
    PHP:
    Are you sure the path was temp/0Sre4dwn4.m4a or was it maybe: /temp/0Sre4dwn4.m4a (with a leading slash) ?
