[SOLVED] filesize

[dreamwest]

If i have a file thats 500 KB in size what do i use in filesize function, bytes or kilobytes

 

$file = "video.mpg";  //video is 514kb in size

if (filesize($file) < 750){

echo $file." too small <br>";

	}

you don't use a size in the filesize() function, it returns a size, which is in bytes

so 512000 = 500k

why not just convert from bytes to kilobytes?

 

if(round(filesize($file)/1024) < 750){

//code

}

Yes this would make it easier to remember

 

Thanks

if (filesize($file) < (750*1024)){

Yes. This is even better - less code = less thinking

also useful with times

ie

7 days = (7*24*60*60)

 

is this topic solved ?
