Hi, I had this message : "Your IP is listed in one of the spammers lists we use, which aren't controlled by us. More information is available at http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ip4r.ch?ip=unknown <http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ip4r.ch?ip=unknown> . If the problem persists, please contact the webmaster <mailto:webmaster@php.net> ." while trying to add this note to this page http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.disk-free-space.php : "Sorry to denie, but if you made me learn the existance of the new notation (it's only exists since 1999), I have to tell that there is not only historical reason using 1,024 bytes for 1 kilobyte, but also an other about the application of this new notation. You can read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix that : "However, they have not yet been widely adopted by manufacturers and individuals; many continue to use the SI prefixes in a binary sense, despite the lack of support from official bodies. As a result, there is no unambiguous notation for decimal multiples of bits and bytes." Now with all this information, my advise would be to not use kb, Mb, and Gb because of the confusion that could occurs, but effectively the KiB, MiB, and GiB notation and then still make the needed conversion : 2^10 = 1024 so : 1 Kib (kibibyte) = 1,024 B 1 Mib (mebibyte) = 1,024 Kib 1 Gib (gibibyte) = 1,024 Mib 1 Tib (tebibyte) = 1,024 Gib 1 Eib (exbibyte) = 1,024 Tib 1 Zib (zebyte) = 1,024 Eib 1 Yib (yobibyte) = 1,024 Zib be careful 1 B (byte) = 8 b (bit) (except for very old systems which had bytes of 6 to 9 bits) 1 nibble (or nybble) = 4 b (except for some old systems which had nibbles of 5 or 6 bits) I think that everybody will then able to understand it, and you'll respect the new official notation. Just hope that some old geeks won't think you wanted to mean kbits, Mbits..."
