how to check folder size

[exoskeleton]

hi dear experts,

hope you can help about checking the folder size,for example how many kilobytes is it already in PHP script...is it possible?

please help..thank you

This little snippet, by Jonas Sweden in the PHP documentation, adds the sizes of all files in the folder and show the total bytes.
[code=php]<?php
$path = "gal";
echo "Folder $path = ".filesize_r($p ath)." bytes";

function filesize_r($pat h){
if(!file_exists ($path)) return 0;
if(is_file($pat h)) return filesize($path) ;
$ret = 0;
foreach(glob($p ath."/*") as $fn)
$ret += filesize_r($fn) ;
return $ret;
}
?>[/code]

Code works fantastically!

Depending on the size of a folder, is it possible to display the size value in MegaBytes, GigaBytes, or TeraBytes, including the appropriate abbreviations MB, GB, TB

Divide the bytes by 1024 to get kilobytes
[code=php]
$_bytes = $_FILES['file']['size'];
echo ($_bytes / 1024) . "Kb";
[/code]

Thanks you KINGMAX. That's what we are here for.
And to wrap it up: here a little function that shows you the size in Gb, Mb, Kb or plain bytes.You can work out the Terabytes for yourself.[code=php]function showSize($size_ in_bytes) {
$value = 0;
if ($size_in_bytes >= 1073741824) {
$value = round($size_in_ bytes/1073741824*10)/10;
return ($round) ? round($value) . 'Gb' : "{$value} gB";
} else if ($size_in_bytes >= 1048576) {
$value = round($size_in_ bytes/1048576*10)/10;
return ($round) ? round($value) . 'Mb' : "{$value} mB";
} else if ($size_in_bytes >= 1024) {
$value = round($size_in_ bytes/1024*10)/10;
return ($round) ? round($value) . 'Kb' : "{$value} kB";
} else {
return "$size_in_b ytes bytes";
}

how will the whole script looks like?

[ronverdonk]

What script? This is just a sample you can use in your own application to show the size of folders. You'll have to write the script, in which you want to use it, yourself.

how will the whole script looks like?

[code=PHP]
<?php
$path = "myTargetedFold erNameHere"; // <-- Edit: Add your folder name here!

function filesize_r($pat h){ // Function 1
if(!file_exists ($path)) return 0;
if(is_file($pat h)) return filesize($path) ;
$ret = 0;
foreach(glob($p ath."/*") as $fn)
$ret += filesize_r($fn) ;
return $ret;
}

function showSize($size_ in_bytes) { // Function 2
$value = 0;
if ($size_in_bytes >= 1073741824) {
$value = round($size_in_ bytes/1073741824*10)/10;
return ($round) ? round($value) . 'Gb' : "{$value} Gb";
} else if ($size_in_bytes >= 1048576) {
$value = round($size_in_ bytes/1048576*10)/10;
return ($round) ? round($value) . 'Mb' : "{$value} Mb";
} else if ($size_in_bytes >= 1024) {
$value = round($size_in_ bytes/1024*10)/10;
return ($round) ? round($value) . 'Kb' : "{$value} Kb";
} else {
return "{$size_in_byte s} Bytes";
}
}

echo "Folder {$path} size: <b>".showSize(f ilesize_r($path ))."</b>";
?>
[/code]

I found this in the web one day and it works fine for me.
[code=php]
function getSymbolByQuan tity($bytes)
{
$symbols = array('B', 'Kb', 'Mb', 'Gb', 'Tb', 'Pb', 'Eb', 'Zb', 'Yb');
$exp = floor(log($byte s)/log(1024));

return sprintf("%.2f " . $symbols[$exp], ($bytes/pow(1024, floor($exp))));
}[/code]
