php - Get the file size of the index file -

lets have cms set in remoter server. possible actual physical size of index.php file though external php script without running cms?

can't utilize file_get_contents() homecoming whole home page me. need physical filesize of index file. possible?

fortunately that's not possible. functions filesize() handle files on local filesystem obvious reasons.

if access physical filesize of remote file processes other operations (like reading plain file) remote file not secure, it?

however, if have physical access remote server, there no problem connect php.
