Just to add further, that was for a php 5.3.5 box running a 64 bit linux os....
i havent tested on other versions yet.

But there is quite a lot of noise about this in php bug list.

Pls note that stat does not seem to give proper filesizes even with 64 bit php if files > 2Gb

As with stat(), the returned size of the file may be wrong if it is over 2GB.
