From manual page: https://php.net/function.copy

I am pretty sure there is some kind of limit to the size of file that the copy command can actually copy on Windows 10.

For example if I try to copy a 5GB+ file, it will return as succesful, but will not actually copy the whole file.

Could this limitation be confirmed and added to the documentation?

Thanks

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

<?php
  $from = "C:\myBigFile.mp4"; // Needs to be a big ile, like 5GB or 6GB
  $to = "C:\myBigFile_COPY.mp4";
  copy($from, $to);
?>

Copies exactly 1GB. Affects other functions like stream_copy_to_stream() as well.

There may be an existing bug report for this problem.

This is a Windows only issue, and is because we're not properly
retrieving the file size when mmapping.  After this is fixed, on
32bit systems files up to 4294967295 bytes can be copied; 64bit
systems practically have no limit.
