Hi,
I'm receiving the following warning:

Warning: filemtime(): Stat failed for master.log (errno=75 - Value too large
for defined data type) in test.php on line 5

when I do the following line of code:
filemtime ('master.log');

The file in question is over 2GB, but I'm not interested in its size, I just
want to know the time it was last modified.
I presume filemtime is just doing a stat which is failing when it tries to
read the size field. Whatever the cause filemtime is returning false and
displaying that warning.

Does anyone know a work around for this warning (which does not involve
shelling out a command line app)?

My code was working fine until the file reached 2GB.

Thanks
Andrew

P.S I'm running PHP 4.3.10-13 on a Debian distro.
