    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'];
