And you're sure it's not this bug:

well i think is not the same because if i run from the terminal:

stat /mount/Arena2/tickers.txt 

i get:

 stat /mount/Arena2/tickers.txt

if i have a script like this:

<?php

$fp=fopen("/mount/Arena2/tickers.txt","r");
echo (fgets($fp));
?>

i get first line from that file;
only stat() is the problem

Yes, but stat on command line might be different to stat() function. :)
Please check the kernel version compared to where this bug is fixed.

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 2.6.28-4.10



so if i have 2.6.31 and it was fixed in 2.6.28, this shouldn't bee the problem

thanks for you're response

Please try using this snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

  http://windows.php.net/snapshots/

And use --disable-phar in your configure line.

still getting this error, it may be a problem with my os, or the mount because i have try it on a fedora 7 and filesize worked, 

wait until you get another report to confirm this, i'm using java until then.

Thanks

Most likely OS issue. Not PHP bug -> Bogus.

Using SuSE v11.2 with Kernel v2.6.31.5-0.1-default
I have the same problem with the SuSE provided PHP v5.3.1 and with clean builds of v5.3.1 and v5.2.13. 

I can stat from the command line (even through PHP using shell_exec) but all stat() related PHP functions fail. The interesting thing is that stat() works on Linux CIFS shares, but not Windows CIFS shares. Is there some way I can print debug information for each step of the stat() function in the C code to better trouble shoot this?  If its a streams problem, can you describe what exactly the problem is? 

Its not isolated to one machine either. There are several systems in my office that exhibit the same problem.

It works properly under SuSE v10.3 and PHP v4.4.0.

At the very least, an indication as to what caused the failure would be helpful in the PHP error message.
 [2010-03-04 18:54 UTC] mpiazza at benefitresource dot com 
I would like to add that the command line stat returns an Inode value of  281474976718220 on the 'broken' system and 55187670 on the 'working' system.

This is suspect to me. Shouldn't it be the same across the board?
 [2010-03-04 19:14 UTC] rasmus@php.net 
This doesn't sound like a PHP problem at all.  My best guess is that you have a 
32/64-bit mismatch here.  And PHP doesn't currently support 64-bit inodes.  There 
are some patches floating around that will eventually be folded in to address 
this though.  See bug #48886
 [2010-03-04 19:41 UTC] mpiazza at benefitresource dot com 
If support needs to be added to PHP, isn't that a PHP problem. 

Based on rasmus's suggestion, I've discovered a workaround for now.
If you specify "-o noserverino" at mount time the client will assign the inodes instead of the server. I am unaware of any side effects of doing this besides the possibility of not being able to detect hard links correctly.
 [2010-03-04 20:01 UTC] rasmus@php.net 
It's a feature request that has already been covered elsewhere, not a bug.
