[thelist] displaying file size in PHP

[Paul Bennett]

Hi Joel,

filesize() will return false if the file doesn't exist (you can also use
file_exists() to check for (oddly enough) the existence of a file)

Also, you can't pass function references into a quoted string.

Try this instead:

$filesize = filesize($path/$file);
echo ($filesize)? $filesize.'Kb' : "File doesn't exist";

I've tried
$filesize = filesize($path/$file);
echo "$filesize<br />";

and

echo "filesize($path/$file)<br />";

and it just displays the words filesize(./path/to/the/file.asp)

where's the obvious bit I'm missing?
