Getting the size of all the files in a directory

[dpkeller]

Hi,
I need to get the size of all files in a directory. my idea of how to do this was to call shell_exec( ), and move to the directory, and check all the files with filesize( ). When I call shell_exec( "cd .." ) nothing happends, the directory does not change. Can someone help with with this.

[man]readdir[/man] and [man]filesize[/man] can be used to accomplish this. you will use readdir to get the contents of a directory, and run each filename through the filesize function. there are examples on both of those pages on how to use them, but if you still need some help after, just post back and we'll see what we can do.

filesize()

Edit:
HELLO? HELLO? HELLO?
echo echo echo

You can also use [man]chdir[/man] to change the directory.

<?
chdir("/home/foo");  // some path
$foo=exec("du -h .");

echo $foo . "<br />";
?>
