human readable file size

Question

function humanFileSize($size)
{
    if ($size >= 1073741824) {
      $fileSize = round($size / 1024 / 1024 / 1024,1) . \'GB\';
    } elseif ($size >= 1048576)          


        

Answer 1

This is how I use, it's clean and simple. Also can be used like this:

public function getHumanReadableFilesize(int $bytes, int $dec = 2): string
{
    $size   = ['B', 'kB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB'];
    $factor = floor((strlen($bytes) - 1) / 3);

    return sprintf("%.{$dec}f %s", ($bytes / (1024 ** $factor)), $size[$factor]);
}

Thanks @Márton Tamás for suggestion to add like comment.

Answer 2

Try something like this:

function humanFileSize($size,$unit="") {
  if( (!$unit && $size >= 1<<30) || $unit == "GB")
    return number_format($size/(1<<30),2)."GB";
  if( (!$unit && $size >= 1<<20) || $unit == "MB")
    return number_format($size/(1<<20),2)."MB";
  if( (!$unit && $size >= 1<<10) || $unit == "KB")
    return number_format($size/(1<<10),2)."KB";
  return number_format($size)." bytes";
}

To expand on Vaidas' answer, here's how you should do it to account for the new IEC standards:

function human_readable_bytes($bytes, $decimals = 2, $system = 'binary')
{
    $mod = ($system === 'binary') ? 1024 : 1000;

    $units = array(
        'binary' => array(
            'B',
            'KiB',
            'MiB',
            'GiB',
            'TiB',
            'PiB',
            'EiB',
            'ZiB',
            'YiB',
        ),
        'metric' => array(
            'B',
            'kB',
            'MB',
            'GB',
            'TB',
            'PB',
            'EB',
            'ZB',
            'YB',
        ),
    );

    $factor = floor((strlen($bytes) - 1) / 3);

    return sprintf("%.{$decimals}f%s", $bytes / pow($mod, $factor), $units[$system][$factor]);
}

Technically, according to the specifications for storage devices and such you should use the metric system as default (that's why Google converter shows kB -> MB as mod 1000 instead of 1024).

Answer 4

I'm using this method:

function byteConvert($bytes)
{
    if ($bytes == 0)
        return "0.00 B";

    $s = array('B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB');
    $e = floor(log($bytes, 1024));

    return round($bytes/pow(1024, $e), 2).$s[$e];
}

works great in o(1).

Answer 5

I wanted a function that returned filesizes like Windows does, and surprisingly I could find none at all. Even worse, some here and elsewhere are broken in that they assume 1KB = 1000B.

So I coded one! Plus two helper functions. Here they are:

// Returns a size in a human-readable form from a byte count.
function humanSize($bytes)
{
    if ($bytes < 1024) return "$bytes Bytes";

    $units = ['KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB'];

    foreach ($units as $i => $unit)
    {
        // The reason for this threshold is to avoid e.g., "1000 KB",
        // instead jumping from e.g., "999 KB" to "0.97 MB".
        $multiplier = pow(1024, $i + 1);
        $threshold = $multiplier * 1000;

        if ($bytes < $threshold)
        {
            $size = formatToMinimumDigits($bytes / $multiplier, false);
            return "$size $unit";
        }
    }
}

// Efficiently calculates how many digits the integer portion of a number has.
function digits($number)
{
    // Yes, I could convert to string and count the characters,
    // but this is faster and cooler.
    $log = log10($number);
    if ($log < 0) return 1;
    return floor($log) + 1;
}

// Formats a number to a minimum amount of digits.
// In other words, makes sure that a number has at least $digits on it, even if
// that means introducing redundant decimal zeroes at the end, or rounding the
// ones present exceeding the $digits count when combined with the integers.
// For example:
//     formatToMinimumDigits(10)           // 10.0
//     formatToMinimumDigits(1.1)          // 1.10
//     formatToMinimumDigits(12.34)        // 12.3
//     formatToMinimumDigits(1.234)        // 1.23
//     formatToMinimumDigits(1.203)        // 1.20
//     formatToMinimumDigits(123.4)        // 123
//     formatToMinimumDigits(100)          // 100
//     formatToMinimumDigits(1000)         // 1000
//     formatToMinimumDigits(1)            // 1.00
//     formatToMinimumDigits(1.002)        // 1.00
//     formatToMinimumDigits(1.005)        // 1.01
//     formatToMinimumDigits(1.005, false) // 1.00
// This is primarily useful for generating human-friendly numbers.
function formatToMinimumDigits($value, $round = true, $digits = 3)
{
    $integers = floor($value);

    $decimalsNeeded = $digits - digits($integers);

    if ($decimalsNeeded < 1)
    {
        return $integers;
    }
    else
    {
        if ($round)
        {
            // This relies on implicit type casting of float to string.
            $parts = explode('.', round($value, $decimalsNeeded));
            // We re-declare the integers because they may change
            // after we round the number.
            $integers = $parts[0];
        }
        else
        {
            // Again, implicit type cast to string.
            $parts = explode('.', $value);
        }

        // And because of the implicit type cast, we must guard against
        // 1.00 becoming 1, thus not exploding the second half of it.
        $decimals = isset($parts[1]) ? $parts[1] : '0';
        $joined = "$integers.$decimals".str_repeat('0', $digits);
        return substr($joined, 0, $digits + 1);
    }
}

Usage is as simple as humanSize(123456789).

Answer 6

function bytesToHuman($bytes)
{
    $units = ['B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB'];
    for ($i = 0; $bytes > 1024; $i++) $bytes /= 1024;
    return round($bytes, 2) . ' ' . $units[$i];
}
