Directories

Is their a special function to count how many space the files are taking up in a directory or must I use the readdir function with a few loops and add the space each file takes individually?

www.php.net/disk-free-space

Try that :)

Jee

I don't want the space available I want the space used....

uh...

total_space - free_space = space_that_is_used

or am I saying stupid things now?

If you did use a readdir, you could count each one...

while ($file = readdir($dir_var)) {
$filesize = $filesize + filesize($file);
}

echo "The total space used is: " . $filesize;

Yea I know, just wondering if there was no specific function to do that. Thanks anyways :):D

disk_total_space(string dirname) -
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.disk-total-space.php

should do it - I used it today on localhost and got absolutely no
return though and ergo went with the filesize(each file) method.

Thank you :):thumbsup:
