Read the user comments to figure out how to apply it to directories

i cant put anything together over there, any suggestions

function dir_size($dir) {
   $totalsize=0;
   if($dirstream = @opendir($dir)) {
      while(false !== ($filename = readdir($dirstream))) {
         if($filename!="." && $filename!="..") {
            if(is_file($dir."/".$filename)) {
               $totalsize+=filesize($dir."/".$filename);
            }
            if(is_dir($dir."/".$filename)) {
               $totalsize+=dir_size($dir."/".$filename);
            }
         }
      }
   }
   closedir($dirstream);
   return number_format(($totalsize/1024),2);
}

$size = dir_size("/path/to/dir");
echo $size. "Kb";

thank you now how can i do a -23.44 kb from that, like enstead of starting at 0 start at 23.44

[LordShryku]

$totalsize=0;

That's the start point. Change it to what you want

[duny]

it dosent change anything

[LordShryku]

It calculates it in bytes. If you wanted to start at 23.44 Kb, you need to multiply 23.44 * 1024 (1024 bytes per kilobyte). So you want to update $totalsize=0; to $totalsize=24002.56;

Nice script!

How can i get it to display a directory size that is in a foler before it, not a subdirectory?

Thanks
