help with file size with php

I don't know how many times or ways I can say it.

The script returns all file sizes in bytes-regardless as t hoe big it is.

I was merely hoping to get the script to change and give results in kb,mb,gb,tb if the size was this big

As it is it reports sizes in bytes only

ie; 397bytes,4,932bytes 34,987bytes or even 234,875bytes and so on in stead of 3.2kb or 1.4mb and so on.

I will keep tinkering with the original until I either get it or decide to dump the idea.

I just thought that if I posted the original script and the second one(this uses the bytes,kb,mb,gb,tb in the script) that it would be an easy fix for a php guru.

But thanks for looking

As to my request at http://css-tricks.com a new file was made and it includes the re-work for file sizes like I was looking for.
with that and my addition of the image atributes for width and height I am a happy camper now.

here is my working file
http://www.web-user.info/directory/.index.php

I will submit this as resolved

I understand this. The thing I was trying to understand is why you are getting "bytes only" results.
This is confusing to me, because I tested the function several times, and the result was not displayed in "bytes only"; it correctly used "KB" or "MB", etc..

When you say the script "returns errors", do you mean that there are actual error messages (i.e., PHP errors)? or just that it gave you a result you did not want? Perhaps that was part of our confusion.

You are welcome. I understand that you have resolved this problem, but, if you are willing, could you post the code that is working as you desired? I'd be interested in understanding what the difference might be.

Hi Adrian these are the files(text files) of the original script

http://www.web-user.info/directory/.aindex.txt

And here is the new version

http://www.web-user.info/directory/.index.txt

I was able to add the attributes part to it and get it to show the width and height of images-there probally is a better way to do it then what I came up withThis is my first success getting php code to work on my own :)

Maybe a new way to change it so just the numbers without the "width" and the "height" would be an upgrade to what I got to work but being a newbie I am happy with the way it is , lol

Notice the second file is larger and includes to code to list file sizes like we were looking at with the new code I found.

The code is located here:

http://css-tricks.com/snippets/php/d...tory-contents/

What is embeded at the top of the page is the old script-go way down to the end of that code and get the zip file which has the updated files

any questions? it is a neat script I think.
