How to get Folder or Directory size in PHP Laravel?
In this tutorial, i am going to tell you how to get directory size in PHP Laravel.
As all knows, PHP has inbuilt function to get file size using filesize() method but ever you think how to get directory size in PHP or how to read directory files and sub directory within directory?
A folder may have many files and have subfolder that contains many files too.
So here you will know how to iterate over folders and their files.
PHP function will return size in bytes so first we write a function to convert bytes to Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte and Terabyte etc.
PHP Function to format size
function formatSize($bytes)< $kb = 1024; $mb = $kb * 1024; $gb = $mb * 1024; $tb = $gb * 1024; if (($bytes >= 0) && ($bytes < $kb)) < return $bytes . ' B'; >elseif (($bytes >= $kb) && ($bytes < $mb)) < return ceil($bytes / $kb) . ' KB'; >elseif (($bytes >= $mb) && ($bytes < $gb)) < return ceil($bytes / $mb) . ' MB'; >elseif (($bytes >= $gb) && ($bytes < $tb)) < return ceil($bytes / $gb) . ' GB'; >elseif ($bytes >= $tb) < return ceil($bytes / $tb) . ' TB'; >else < return $bytes . ' B'; >>
Now we will write a function to scan directory and return size of directory.
PHP Function to return directory size
function folderSize($dir)< $total_size = 0; $count = 0; $dir_array = scandir($dir); foreach($dir_array as $key=>$filename)< if($filename!=".." && $filename!=".")< if(is_dir($dir."/".$filename))< $new_foldersize = foldersize($dir."/".$filename); $total_size = $total_size+ $new_foldersize; >else if(is_file($dir."/".$filename)) < $total_size = $total_size + filesize($dir."/".$filename); $count++; >> > return $total_size; >
$folder_path = "folder path"; echo formatSize(folderSize($folder_path));
Now you can easily scan your directory using PHP inbuilt function and get size of directory.
Get Folder or Directory size in PHP?
In PHP we have an inbuilt function called filesize() to get the size of any file, but what about a directory/ folder. A folder can content many files and sub folders in it. So lets write down a simple PHP function to calculate the folder size.
PHP Function
function folderSize($dir)< $count_size = 0; $count = 0; $dir_array = scandir($dir); foreach($dir_array as $key=>$filename)< if($filename!=".." && $filename!=".")< if(is_dir($dir."/".$filename))< $new_foldersize = foldersize($dir."/".$filename); $count_size = $count_size+ $new_foldersize; >else if(is_file($dir."/".$filename)) < $count_size = $count_size + filesize($dir."/".$filename); $count++; >> > return $count_size; >
Call in Action
Output
The above function will return the folder size in bytes. So we need to write another function which will convert the bytes to Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte etc.
PHP Function to format size
function sizeFormat($bytes)< $kb = 1024; $mb = $kb * 1024; $gb = $mb * 1024; $tb = $gb * 1024; if (($bytes >= 0) && ($bytes < $kb)) < return $bytes . ' B'; >elseif (($bytes >= $kb) && ($bytes < $mb)) < return ceil($bytes / $kb) . ' KB'; >elseif (($bytes >= $mb) && ($bytes < $gb)) < return ceil($bytes / $mb) . ' MB'; >elseif (($bytes >= $gb) && ($bytes < $tb)) < return ceil($bytes / $gb) . ' GB'; >elseif ($bytes >= $tb) < return ceil($bytes / $tb) . ' TB'; >else < return $bytes . ' B'; >>
Get Folder Size in PHP
Most of the web hosting company does not provide unlimited FTP spaces. In order to monitor the usage, you can login to web-based control panel and view the usage statistics.
Another handy method would be to use PHP to compute the folder sizes. The following is a function to recursively compute the size in bytes for a web-folder. Of course, base on this function, you can easily create events of notification (such as sending emails when usage is high).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
function dirsize($dir) @$dh = opendir($dir); $size = 0; while ($file = @readdir($dh)) if ($file != "." and $file != "..") $path = $dir."/".$file; if (is_dir($path)) $size += dirsize($path); // recursive in sub-folders > elseif (is_file($path)) $size += filesize($path); // add file > > > @closedir($dh); return $size; >
function dirsize($dir) < @$dh = opendir($dir); $size = 0; while ($file = @readdir($dh)) < if ($file != "." and $file != "..") < $path = $dir."/".$file; if (is_dir($path)) < $size += dirsize($path); // recursive in sub-folders >elseif (is_file($path)) < $size += filesize($path); // add file >> > @closedir($dh); return $size; >
Another simpler solution from realmag777 that utilities the latest PHP language feature:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
/* * * * Get the directory size * @param directory $directory * @return integer */ function get_dir_size($directory) $size = 0; foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($directory)) as $file) $size += $file->getSize(); > return $size; >
/* * * * Get the directory size * @param directory $directory * @return integer */ function get_dir_size($directory) < $size = 0; foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($directory)) as $file) < $size += $file->getSize(); > return $size; >

How to read the size of a directory using PHP? Here is a simple function which could help read the size of the directory, number of directories and the number of files in the given directory.
Those days i was wondering whether i could read the size of a directory using PHP. So i thought of making something which could help me read the size of the directory, number of directories and the number of files in the given directory.
So here are my 2 little functions doing that bit:
The function “filesize_recursive” will ignore link/shortcuts to files/directory.
The function “display_size” will suffix the size with bytes, KB, MB or GB accordingly.
< ?php $path = "/path-to-folder"; // function display_size($size) < // Function 2 $sizes = array('B', 'kB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB'); if ($retstring === null) < $retstring = '%01.2f %s'; >$lastsizestring = end($sizes); foreach ($sizes as $sizestring) < if ($size < 1024) < break; >if ($sizestring != $lastsizestring) < $size /= 1024; >> if ($sizestring == $sizes[0]) < $retstring = '%01d %s'; >// Bytes aren't normally fractional return sprintf($retstring, $size, $sizestring); > echo "Folder size: ".display_size(filesize_recursive($path)).""; ?> Depending on the size of a folder, is it possible to display the size value in MegaBytes, GigaBytes, or TeraBytes, including the appropriate abbreviations MB, GB, TB, etc ..
