Show free disk space

[Dimas_sc]

Hi,

Somebody knows if it is possible with php to know the free space of the disk where php script is executed? And the total space available?

for *nix i use:

exec('du -s '.$home_dir, $output);
$space = split(" ", $output[0]);

$space = $space[0] / 2048;
echo 'Space currently being used <strong>'.round($space,2).' Mb</strong><br><br>';

Thx! 🙂 The problem is that the hosting is Windows based. I have done that, if can help someone with the same problem 🙂 ->

<?
list($busySpace,$freeSpace) = calcBusyFreeSpace();
echo "Space currently being used <strong>".$busySpace."</strong> (<strong>".$freeSpace."</strong> free)<br>";

function calcBusyFreeSpace() {
	$homeDir = getcwd()."\files";
	exec('dir '.$homeDir, $output);
	$busy = $output[count($output)-2];
	$busy = split(" ",trim($busy));
	$busy = str_replace(".","",$busy[count($busy)-2]);
	$free = $output[count($output)-1];
	$free = split(" ",trim($free));
	$free = str_replace(".","",$free[count($free)-3]);
	// Unitats a mostrar
	if (strlen($busy)<=3) $units = ""; // Bytes
	elseif (strlen($busy)<=6) $units = "KB"; // KiloBytes
	elseif (strlen($busy)<=9) $units = "MB"; // MegaBytes
	elseif (strlen($busy)<=12) $units = "GB"; // GigaBytes
	// Convertir unitats
	$busy = convert_from_bytes($busy,$units);
	if ($units == "") $units = "bytes";
	$busySpace = round($busy,2) . $units;
	// Unitats a mostrar
	if (strlen($free)<=3) $units = ""; // Bytes
	elseif (strlen($free)<=6) $units = "KB"; // KiloBytes
	elseif (strlen($free)<=9) $units = "MB"; // MegaBytes
	elseif (strlen($free)<=12) $units = "GB"; // GigaBytes
	// Convertir unitats
	$free = convert_from_bytes($free,$units);
	if ($units == "") $units = "bytes";
	$freeSpace = round($free,2) . $units;
	return array($busySpace,$freeSpace);
}

function convert_from_bytes( $bytes, $to=NULL )
{
  $float = floatval( $bytes );
  switch( $to )
  {
    case 'Kb' :            // Kilobit
      $float = ( $float*8 ) / 1024;
      break;
    case 'b' :             // bit
      $float *= 8;
      break;
    case 'GB' :            // Gigabyte
      $float /= 1024;
    case 'MB' :            // Megabyte
      $float /= 1024;
    case 'KB' :            // Kilobyte
      $float /= 1024;
    default :              // byte
  }
  unset( $bytes, $to );
  return( $float );
}
?>

Doing it the same way as Unix then use "dir" and look at the last line of output.
Or

fsutil volume diskfree C:

Where "C:" would be the appropriate drive letter.

Note: I haven't used these in practice; this is just what I got from poking at Windows' built-in help system for a couple of minutes.
