 Complete PHP Filesystem Reference
Definition and Usage
The clearstatcache() function clears the file status cache.
PHP caches data for some functions for better performance. If a file is
being checked several times in a script, you might want to avoid caching to get
correct results. To do this, use the clearstatcache() function.

Tip: Functions that are caching:
- stat()
- lstat()

- filectime()
- fileatime()
- filemtime()
- fileinode()
- filegroup()
- fileowner()

echo "<br />";
$file = fopen("test.txt", "a+");
