Re: calculating kilobytes

I tend to stay away from executing shell commands when it is not necessary. I've written a script for you that will do what I think you want it to do. It will go n levels deep and get the file size in KB of each file, then it will return that. You can tell the script to ignore certain files (by default it ignores . and .., you may want to tell it to ignore itself as well) and what directory to give the size of. The source code is available at http://php.shadonet.com/diskspace.php.txt I've verified this works on my machine (4.3.0) and another machine (4.0.6) in safe mode.
