PHP disk_total_space() | Find Total Disk Space
The PHP disk_total_space() function is used when we need to find the total space available in specified disk or filesystem. The space returned using this function will be in bytes, by default. For example:
<?php $space = disk_total_space("C:"); echo $space; ?>
The output of above PHP example on disk_total_space() function, is:
That is, 107427655680 bytes are the total space available in my C drive. Here is the snapshot of the C drive of my computer system:
Find Amount of Total Disk Space in GB using PHP
To modify the above program to print the total space available in C drive in GB, then use following example:
<?php $spaceBytes = disk_total_space("C:"); $spaceKb = $spaceBytes/1024; $spaceMb = $spaceKb/1024; $spaceGb = $spaceMb/1024; echo "<p>Total Space available in <b>C</b> Drive is <b>$spaceGb</b> GB</p>"; ?>
Now the output should be:
To remove all digits after decimals, then use (int) before $spaceGb. For example:
<?php $spaceBytes = disk_total_space("C:"); $spaceGb = $spaceBytes/1024/1024/1024; $spaceGb = (int)$spaceGb; echo "<p><b>C</b> Drive Total Space = <b>$spaceGb</b> GB</p>"; ?>
Now the output should be:
