Since I see this mistake all the time and don't understand why people keep making it, I'll explain. 1 Kilobyte is 1,000 bytes NOT 1,024 Bytes Instead, 1,024 Bytes can be translated to 1 Kibibyte. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte There's no reason to be dividing by 1024 when calculating sizes since hard drive manufacturers don't use that method, instead they use 1000 bytes per Kilobyte. ---- Server IP: 216.235.15.211 Probable Submitter: 65.95.32.157 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.disk-free-space.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73379 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73379/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73379/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73379/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73379/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73379/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73379/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73379 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73379 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
