disk_total_space — Returns the total size of a filesystem or disk partition
Given a string containing a directory, this function will return the total number of bytes on the corresponding filesystem or disk partition.
directoryA directory of the filesystem or disk partition.
Returns the total number of bytes as a float
or false on failure.
Example #1 disk_total_space() example
<?php
// $ds contains the total number of bytes available on "/"
$ds = disk_total_space("/");
// On Windows:
$ds = disk_total_space("C:");
$ds = disk_total_space("D:");
?>Note: This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.

<?php
// Wrong
$exp = floor(log($bytes) / log(1024));
//Correct
$exp = $bytes ? floor(log($bytes) / log(1024)) : 0;
?>For a non-looping way to add symbols to a number of bytes:
<?php
function getSymbolByQuantity($bytes) {
$symbols = array('B', 'KiB', 'MiB', 'GiB', 'TiB', 'PiB', 'EiB', 'ZiB', 'YiB');
$exp = floor(log($bytes)/log(1024));
return sprintf('%.2f '.$symbol[$exp], ($bytes/pow(1024, floor($exp))));
}To find the total size of a file/directory you have to differ two situations:
(on Linux/Unix based systems only!?)
you are interested:
1) in the total size of the files in the dir/subdirs
2) what place on the disk your dir/subdirs/files uses
- 1) and 2) normaly differs, depending on the size of the inodes
- mostly 2) is greater than 1) (in the order of any kB)
- filesize($file) gives 1)
- "du -ab $file" gives 2)
so you have to choose your situation!
on my server I have no rights to use "exec du" in the case of 2), so I use:
$s = stat($file);
$size = $s[11]*$s[12]/8);
whitch is counting the inodes [12] times the size of them in Bits [11]
hopes this helps to count the used disk place in a right way... :-)
