ftell
ftell
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
ftell — Returns the current position of the file read/write pointer
Description
int ftell ( resource $handle )
Returns the position of the file pointer referenced by handle.
Parameters
Return Values
Returns the position of the file pointer referenced by handle as an integer; i.e., its offset into the file stream.
If an error occurs, returns FALSE.
Note: Because PHP's integer type is signed and many platforms use 32bit integers, some filesystem functions may return unexpected results for files which are larger than 2GB.
