How to Know the Directory Space ??

Anon

Hi all;
I have a directory called "abc" and there are so many sub-directories under "abc"..The question is .. How can I Calculate the Total space aquired by "ABC"..Including all sub directories(And files too in subdirectories)...

Thanx

I am in need of this too. I was thinking you had to scan through all sub dirs and count the file size of each file

No easy way of doing it i think

On unix you can get away with

$dirname="mydirectory";
list($iSize,$junk)=split("\t",du -b $dirname);
echo $iSize;

but on windows....

Well, on Unix you would use the command 'du' to to do that. So you could run that with one of the program execution files. How about something like:

$dir = "/path/to/dir";
chdir($dir);
$output = du -sh;
echo $output;

(Those are backticks by the way, see the Execution Operators section of the manual for more, and make sure you check your input before using them for anything else.)

If you're on Windows, well, I don't know. And I don't care either. 🙂
