PHP convert KB MB GB TB etc to Bytes

Question

I\'m asking how to convert KB MB GB TB & co. into bytes.
For example:

byteconvert(\"10KB\") // => 10240
byteconvert(\"10.5KB\") // =>

I know this is a relative old topic, but here's a function that I sometimes have to use when I need this kind of stuff; You may excuse for if the functions dont work, I wrote this for hand in a mobile:

function intobytes($bytes, $stamp = 'b') {
    $indx = array_search($stamp, array('b', 'kb', 'mb', 'gb', 'tb', 'pb', 'yb'));
    if ($indx > 0) {
        return $bytes * pow(1024, $indx);
    }
    return $bytes;
}

and as compact

function intobytes($bytes, $stamp='b') {$indx=array_search($stamp,array('b','kb','mb','gb','tb','pb','yb'));if($indx > 0){return $bytes * pow(1024,$indx);} return $bytes;}

Take care!
