ssh2_sftp_lstat — Stat a symbolic link
Stats a symbolic link on the remote filesystem without following the link.
This function is similar to using the lstat() function with the ssh2.sftp:// wrapper and returns the same values.
See the documentation for stat() for details on the values which may be returned.
Example #1 Stating a symbolic link via SFTP
<?php
$connection = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'username', 'password');
$sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
$statinfo = ssh2_sftp_lstat($sftp, '/path/to/symlink');
$filesize = $statinfo['size'];
$group = $statinfo['gid'];
$owner = $statinfo['uid'];
$atime = $statinfo['atime'];
$mtime = $statinfo['mtime'];
$mode = $statinfo['mode'];
?>
