[SOLVED] display file size

[jboy6t9]

ok.. i have table with 4 fields:

 

articleID (PK) (int11)

articleTitle (varchar200)

articleFilename (varchar200)

dateAdded (date)

 

there are 100's of records. my customer has now requested that the filesize be displayed in KB, but i don't want to add a new column. Does any one know of a way to loop through the record set and display the filesize in KB dynamically?

thanks

Well, the filesize() function will return the number of bytes that make up the file. Divide that total by 1024, and you will get the number of KBs in them:

<?php
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)) {
  $file = $row['articleFilename'];
  echo "$file size = " . ceil(filesize($file) / 1024) . "KB<br />\n";
}
?>

 

Good luck.
