note 22237 added to function.filesize

To find the total size of a file/directory you have to differ two situations: (on Linux/Unix based systems only!?) you are interested: 1) in the total size of the files in the dir/subdirs 2) what place on the disk your dir/subdirs/files uses - 1) and 2) normaly differs, depending on the size of the inodes - mostly 2) is greater than 1) (in the order of any kB) - filesize($file) gives 1) - "du -ab $file" gives 2) so you have to choose your situation! on my server I have no rights to use "exec du" in the case of 2), so I use: $s = stat($file); $size = $s[11]*$s[12]/8); whitch is counting the inodes [12] times the size of them in Bits [11] hopes this helps to count the used disk place in a right way... :-) Andreas Dick -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+22237 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+22237 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+22237
