Re: filesize math

Well, depends on your definition of a kb, mb, gb, etc.. You seem to be mixing definitions here. One school of thought is that... 1000 bytes = 1 kb 1000 kb = 1 mb 1000 mb = 1 gb In reality... 1024 bytes = 1 kb 1024 kb = 1 mb 1024 mb = 1 gb You're checking filesize against the '1000' method then you're returning a number based on the '1024' method. You should always be consistant across the board. -TG = = = Original message = = = i made this function and want to know if i am doing the math correctly.. seems to be caculating ok.. $filesize is in bytes.. if the filesize is under 1MB i want to show KBs, if its under 1GB i want to show MB, if its over 1000MB i want to show GB, makes sense? ;) function byte_format($filesize) if ($filesize < 1000000) return number_format($filesize / 1024, 2, '.', '') . ' KB'; else if($filesize > 1000000000) return number_format($filesize / 1024 / 1024 / 1024, 2, '.', '') . ' GB'; else return number_format($filesize / 1024 / 1024, 2, '.', '') . ' MB'; ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software. Free download at http://www.ePrompter.com.
