Calculate bytes in GB,MB format

[maheswaran]

Hi,

I calculate a folder size.But it is return in bytes format. I want to this in gb or mb size according to the size.

Is there any function.?

Could you not simply divide the number of bytes returned by 1048576 to get the megabytes or by 1073741824 to get the gigabytes?

Then after you calculate the Mb and the Gb in the function do somethinig like:

if($gigabytes > 1){
    return $gigabytes." Gb";
}else if($megabytes > 1){
    return $megabytes." Mb";
}else{
    return $bytes." bytes";
}

That will return either Gb, Mb or just bytes depending on the size.

Is this what you meant??

Hi.

I couldn't find a standard function to do this, but I've used this in some of my projects:
[code=php]
function bytesConvert($b ytes)
{
$ext = array('B', 'kB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB');
$unitCount = 0;
for(; $bytes > 1024; $unitCount++) $bytes /= 1024;
return $bytes ." ". $ext[$unitCount];
}
