the following works fine on small files (<2Gb) but returns negative numbers for files larger.

while ( $file = readdir($dp) ){
	clearstatcache();
	if (! ereg("^[.]+$|^$",$file) ){
		$stats = stat("$DIRNAME$file");
		echo "$DIRNAME$file\t" . $stats[7] . "\t" filesize("$DIRNAME$file") . "\n";
	}
}

This is not really a bug, PHP simply doesn't support unsigned integers, and a signed integer on Windows/i386 only goes to 2^31 - 1 (about 2GB).

disk_total_space() appears to cope very well with large volumes (100Gb+).  Are there any work arounds for filesize() ?

You could try doing:
printf("%u", filesize("your_file"));

Although the number is no longer negative the size is unfortunately inaccurate by quite a bit.  It's a shame as php was in the running as our cli for scripting on NT.  I doubt it will pass acceptance testing now.

Thanks for all your help it was appreciated.
Regards
Andy
