If you really want to do it with PHP look into using the following functions:

opendir()
readdir()
closedir()
is_file()

Maybe something like this will be good for starters (coding at the top of my head):

function GetDirectorySize($dirName)
{
$dir = opendir($dirName)
$dirSize = 0;
while($file = readdir($dir) != false);
{
if (is_file($file))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") // skip parent, etc.
$dirSize += filesize($file);
}
}
closedir($handle);
return($dirSize);
}

Let me know if this works! If it does I'll add it to my toolbox 🙂

By the way, on the previous code, it will not recurse into lower folders in the tree (a more uglier scenario)

There is a bug in the code above and after bashing my head for a few minutes, under Windows (I did not test this on any Linux variants), the use of is_file() will always return false unless you change directory before opendir().

For speed, clear the stat cache.

Again, no recursion into subfolders is done. Will work on that later when have more time.

<?php

function GetDirectorySize($dirName)
{
clearstatcache();
if (is_dir($dirName) == false)
return(0);

chdir($dirName);
$dir = opendir($dirName);
$dirSize = 0; 
while(false !== ($file = readdir($dir)))
{
    $path = getcwd() . "/" . $file;
    echo $path . "<br>";
    if (is_file($path)) 
    {
        if ($path != "." && $path != "..") // skip parent, etc. 
            $dirSize += filesize($path); 
    } 
} 
closedir($dir); 
return($dirSize); 

}

echo GetDirectorySize("D:/");

?>
