[SOLVED] Disk space...

Is it possible to tell how much disk space I have used using PHP. If so, how?.

Do you mean disk space on the machine that is running PHP?

Yeah, like how much space all of my website files are using. disk_total_space() is a big no no, however using this little snippet I made is useful:

Code: Select all

echo nl2br(str_replace(" ", "  ", shell_exec("du -chx ".$_SERVERї'DOCUMENT_ROOT'])));
All I need to do now is parse out the dir name, and calculate the overall size. Arrays and regular expressions should hopefully work :D

Any other suggestions?.

No worries guys. I found that using 'c' as the only argument gives the total size :D

Cheers!.
