Check dir size?

[Tarsonis21]

Ok, I've made a script that allows users to upload to my server and I have made each of them their own dir. Is there any way I can have the uploading utility "check folder for bytes, if less than x bytes go ahead with upload, if more than bytes exit" ?

If that doesn't make sense then please email me or msg me on aim, msn or icq.

manual =>
dir => readdir =>filesize

function getSize($theDir) {
$tot = 0;
// get dir's by using dir()
// loop dir ..see manual

if(is_file($entry)) {
  $tot += filesize($entry); 

} else {
// call again getSize($entry)
// also have to check dir's that is there other than "." ".." dirs, else ../
}

}

echo getSize("c:\");

<?
if (isset($users_file)) {
echo "<B>Remote File Name:</B> $users_file<BR>";
echo "<B>Local File Name:</B> $users_file_name<BR>";
echo "<B>Local File Size:</B> $users_file_size<BR>";

if (isset($users_file_type)) {
echo "<B>Local File Type:</B> $users_file_type<P>"; }

$doc_directory = "/my/dir/here/";
$my_file = "".$users_file_name;
$copy_path = $doc_directory.$my_file;

if ($users_file != "none") {
if(!copy($users_file, $copy_path)) {
echo "File upload failed!"; }
else { ?><A HREF="<? echo $my_file; ?>">Upload Complete!</A><br><br><a href="display.php">View files</a>
<br><a href="upload.php">Upload another file</a>
<? } }
else { echo "<P>You must select a file to upload!<P>"; ?>
<A HREF="<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>"><B>Back</B></A> to the Upload Form
<? } }

else { ?>
<form action="<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>"
 enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="20000" />
<input type="file" name="users_file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload!" />
</form><? } ?>

That is my script. I'm kind of confused at TTT's post. Would I want to incorporate what he said into my script or what. See, I'm letting friends upload images to my server and I wrote a little script that displays them with an auto generating gui .. aside from the unncessary details.. I basically just want to limit how many kilobytes they can upload into their directory set aside for them.

I want the upload script to check the directory and make his it has less than their alotted bytage before it allows them to upload. Is this making sense 😕

TTT was very much on the right track:

function getSize($theDir) { 
	$tot = 0; 
	echo 'Dir: ' . $theDir . '<br />';
    $dir = dir($theDir);
	while ( $entry = $dir->read() ) { 
		if ( $entry == '.' || $entry == '..' ) {
			continue;
		}
		$entry = $theDir . '/' . $entry;	
		if(is_file($entry)) { 
            $tot += filesize($entry); 
			echo "Entry: $entry (". filesize($entry) ." bytes)<br />";
        } else { 
            $tot = $tot + getSize( $entry );	
		}
	}	
    return $tot;
} 

echo getSize("/tmp");

be aware that this is written for a *nix machine. for it to run on windows, you would have to change all the '/' to '\' (yes, two backslashes).

Isn't that a script to show the file size of the dir? I just want my upload script to check the directory size and make sure it's smaller than say 100k before it uploads into the directory..

Say I have 89k in the directory that the upload script uploads to and I try to upload a 14k file, I want to add a function that will make sure that I can't upload the file because it would bump the folder to 103k .. which is higher than the 100k maximum..

I just want to limit a folder's amount of data it will store basically. Or have it check the directory to make it won't go over its maximum capacity.
