note 73482 added to function.filesize

Note that functions written in PHP which get directory size recursively are much slower than just calling du. I hope this short code snipet will help someone:) <?php function dirsize($path) { $old_path = getcwd(); if(!is_dir($old_path."/".$path)) return -1; $size = trim(shell_exec("cd \"".$old_path."/".$path."\"; du -sb; cd \"".$old_path."\";"), "\x00..\x2F\x3A..\xFF"); return $size; } P.S. trim() remove here all nonprintable an non-digit chars which appear in the output of du ?> ---- Server IP: 195.136.184.34 Probable Submitter: 83.24.247.50 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73482 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73482/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73482/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73482/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73482/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73482/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73482/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73482 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73482 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
