PHP has a stat cache for performance reasons. Add this line before your second 
stat() call and you will get your expected output:

clearstatcache(false,'a.txt');

If you read http://php.net/stat you will see it says:

"Note: The results of this function are cached. See clearstatcache() for more 
details."
