Assuming you don't simply mean file length-in-bytes (which would be easy), this could be somewhat tricky. I'm not a PHP user myself, but I doubt there is an native way of doing this. Real's file formats are obscure and AFAIK unreadable by any software other than Real's own. If the server your code will be running on is Windows-based and has RealPlayer installed, you could instantiate a RealPlayer ActiveX control, load the file in question into it, and use the getLength method to find the length. see - http://service.real.com/help/library/guides/extend/embed.htm http://service.real.com/help/library/guides/extend/htmfiles/appa_met.htm#53488 it might also be possible to do something with the RealSystem SDK - http://proforma.real.com/rnforms/resources/server/realsystemsdk/index.html -- Andrew Clover mailto:and at doxdesk.com http://and.doxdesk.com/
