Description:
------------
When using GetFile() as documented http://php.net/manual/en/directoryiterator.getsize.php if you run the function on a large file you get negative values which are wrong. I haven't got the exact file size that this happens at, but I have tested with files of 7GB and over, and always get the same result. tested using the function in the test script.

Test script:
---------------
function dirSize($directory) {
    $size = 0;
    foreach(new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($directory)) as $file){
        $size+=$file->getSize();
    }
    return $size;
} 

Then ran function using input value of a directory with a single file of 8,510,398,464 bytes in size.

Expected result:
----------------
8310936 KB

Actual result:
--------------
-77674.63

just realised I typed the wrong function name in the description by mistake. it should read "When using GetSize()" not "When using GetFile()"
 [2011-05-17 10:11 UTC] noodleyman at gmail dot com
Just confirming that I have also tested this using the code in the example page as linked to below and here are the results


<?php
$iterator = new DirectoryIterator(dirname(__FILE__));
foreach ($iterator as $fileinfo) {
    if ($fileinfo->isFile()) {
        echo $fileinfo->getFilename() . " " . $fileinfo->getSize() . "\n";
    }
}
?>

on the same file, this returns a result of "-79538816"

the filesize() function also returns the same results as GetSize() for large files.

now using these functions to get a work around. 

function dos_filesize($fn) {
    if (is_file($fn))
        return exec('FOR %A IN ("'.$fn.'") DO @ECHO %~zA');
    else
        return '0';
}

function dirSize($directory) {
    $size = 0;
    foreach(new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($directory)) as $file){
        $size+=dos_filesize($file);
    }
    return $size;
}

This is a duplicate of bug #27792.
Short answer is: PHP does not support large files (>= 2GB) as of yet.
