[TYPO3-mvc] Confusion with filesize() path

[Sebastian Schreiber]

This question is not really related to extbase or fluid.

It is always good practice to make the path absolute in this case.
Call this in your viewhelper and you should be fine:

$absPathToFile = 
t3lib_div::getFileAbsFileName('uploads/tx_myext/pdf/XXX.pdf');
if(is_file($absPathToFile)) {
   return filesize($absPathToFile);
}
return NULL;

Should work in Backend and Frontend.
