Format bytes to kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes
This is Chris Jester-Young's implementation, cleanest I've ever seen, combined with php.net's and a precision argument.
function formatBytes($size, $precision = 2)
{
$base = log($size, 1024);
$suffixes = array('', 'K', 'M', 'G', 'T');
return round(pow(1024, $base - floor($base)), $precision) .' '. $suffixes[floor($base)];
}
echo formatBytes(24962496);
// 23.81M
echo formatBytes(24962496, 0);
// 24M
echo formatBytes(24962496, 4);
// 23.8061M
function formatBytes($bytes, $precision = 2) {
$units = array('B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB');
$bytes = max($bytes, 0);
$pow = floor(($bytes ? log($bytes) : 0) / log(1024));
$pow = min($pow, count($units) - 1);
// Uncomment one of the following alternatives
// $bytes /= pow(1024, $pow);
// $bytes /= (1 << (10 * $pow));
return round($bytes, $precision) . ' ' . $units[$pow];
}
(Taken from php.net, there are many other examples there, but I like this one best :-)
Pseudocode:
$base = log($size) / log(1024);
$suffix = array("", "k", "M", "G", "T")[floor($base)];
return pow(1024, $base - floor($base)) . $suffix;
