[thelist] Problem with php filesize()

[CDitty]

This is the only copy  I have received.  I actually tried that and for some 
reason, it didn't work.  I have no idea why it wouldn't work.  Same code 
used elsewhere works.  I actually gave up on this section and rewrote the 
working copy to handle this.

Strangest thing with this is that for some reason, some files had filesizes 
and others didn't.  Oh well. Go figure.  :)

Thanks

Chris
