Hey Guys,

Just wondering why this error comes up for me and what it means:  
Here is the code i’m doing:

```php
$xml_file = "http://www.mywebsite.com/myxmlfile.xml";
echo filesize($xml_file);

```

The error that comes up for me is the following:  
Warning: filesize(): Stat failed for [http://www.mywebsite.com/myxmlfile.xml](http://www.mywebsite.com/myxmlfile.xml)

I’m just wondering if there is something wrong about how I am going about this or not and what this error means?

Look Forward to your answers 🙂

Thanks in advance 😃
