determining an empty file

Spud_Nic

I have a .dat file, and I want to get my php code to find out if it is empty, or got stuff in.

I've tried strlen() and empty() but it hasnt worked.

What code should I use?

Cheers for any help

well.. technically couldn't you open the file first then check to see if it was empty?

u can't directly use strlen() or empty() function to check if a file is empty or not. u have to open the file first then u've to check if there are any content in it or u could just check the file size

filesize($filepath);
