Name: Size Converter
Description: Converts an amount of bytes into a more human-readable format. Also includes a function (split from the original function) which returns the metric prefix for a given "position".
Snippet:
PHP Code:
/**
* Get the human-readable size for an amount of bytes
* @param int $size : the number of bytes to be converted
* @param int $precision : number of decimal places to round to;
* optional - defaults to 2
* @param bool $long_name : whether or not the returned size tag should
* be unabbreviated (ie "Gigabytes" or "GB");
* optional - defaults to true
* @param bool $real_size : whether or not to use the real (base 1024)
* or commercial (base 1000) size;
* optional - defaults to true
* @return string : the converted size
*/
function get_size($size,$precision=2,$long_name=true,$real_size=true) {
$base=$real_size?1024:1000;
$pos=0;
while ($size>$base) {
$size/=$base;
$pos++;
}
$prefix=get_size_prefix($pos);
$size_name=$long_name?$prefix."bytes":$prefix[0].'B';
return round($size,$precision).' '.ucfirst($size_name);
}
/**
* @param int $pos : the distence along the metric scale relitive to 0
* @return string : the prefix
*/
function get_size_prefix($pos) {
switch ($pos) {
case 00: return "";
case 01: return "kilo";
case 02: return "mega";
case 03: return "giga";
case 04: return "tera";
case 05: return "peta";
case 06: return "exa";
case 07: return "zetta";
case 08: return "yotta";
case 09: return "xenna";
case 10: return "w-";
case 11: return "vendeka";
case 12: return "u-";
default: return "?-";
}
}
