disk_free_space

(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)

disk_free_spaceReturns available space on filesystem or disk partition

Descrierea

disk_free_space ( string $directory ) : float|false

Given a string containing a directory, this function will return the number of bytes available on the corresponding filesystem or disk partition.

Parametri

directory

A directory of the filesystem or disk partition.

Notă:

Given a file name instead of a directory, the behaviour of the function is unspecified and may differ between operating systems and PHP versions.

Valorile întoarse

Returns the number of available bytes as a float sau false în cazul eșecului.

Exemple

Example #1 disk_free_space() example

<?php
// $df contains the number of bytes available on "/"
$df disk_free_space("/");

// On Windows:
$df_c disk_free_space("C:");
$df_d disk_free_space("D:");
?>

Note

Notă: Această funcție nu va lucra cu fișiere la distanță, deoarece fișierul care trebuie să fie examinat trebuie să fie accesibil prin intermediul sistemului de fișiere al serverului.

Transformation is possible WITHOUT using loops:

<?php
    $bytes
= disk_free_space(".");
   
$si_prefix = array( 'B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB' );
   
$base = 1024;
   
$class = min((int)log($bytes , $base) , count($si_prefix) - 1);
    echo
$bytes . '<br />';
    echo
sprintf('%1.2f' , $bytes / pow($base,$class)) . ' ' . $si_prefix[$class] . '<br />';
?>

$si_prefix = array( 'B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB' );

you are missing the petabyte after terabyte

'B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB'

should look like

'B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB'

Nice, but please be aware of the prefixes.

SI specifies a lower case 'k' as 1'000 prefix.
It doesn't make sense to use an upper case 'K' as binary prefix,
while the decimal Mega (M and following) prefixes in SI are uppercase.
Furthermore, there are REAL binary prefixes since a few years.

Do it the (newest and recommended) "IEC" way:

KB's are calculated decimal; power of 10 (1000 bytes each)
KiB's are calculated binary; power of 2 (1024 bytes each).
The same goes for MB, MiB and so on...

Feel free to read:

Another easy way to convert bytes to human readable sizes would be this:

<?php
function HumanSize($Bytes)
{
 
$Type=array("", "kilo", "mega", "giga", "tera", "peta", "exa", "zetta", "yotta");
 
$Index=0;
  while(
$Bytes>=1024)
  {
   
$Bytes/=1024;
   
$Index++;
  }
  return(
"".$Bytes." ".$Type[$Index]."bytes");
}
?>

It simply takes the $Bytes and divides it by 1024 bytes untill it's no longer over or equal to 1024, meanwhile it increases the $Index to allocate which suffix belongs to the return (adding 'bytes' to the end to save some space).
You can easily modify it so it's shorter, but I made it so it's more clearer.

Note that disk_free_space() does an open_basedir check.

This is not documented yet.
If $directory is invalid, then disk_free_space() will return false and ALSO throw a Warning: "disk_free_space(): No such file or directory"

With respect to Linux filesystems, I'll point out that this function returns the space available in the current volume or mountpoint, not the total physical disk space.  That is, this function used on the '/root' volume shows the free space in /root, which is different from '/home', and so on.

On Windows, this also works with distant files, by using their full network path.

For instance, this will give the % of free disk space on the share "dir" from remote host "server" :
<?php
$path
= "\\\\server\\dir";
echo(
floor(100 * disk_free_space($disk) / disk_total_space($disk)));
?>

It can also work with drive letters mapped to a network path in certain cases.
