UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting File Size

Hey guys.... a little PHP help please. I'm running this to calculate and display the file size of the attachment in showflat and showthreaded view. BUT.... sometimes... for some reason it leaves the filesize off and just prints the word " Bytes" with no number before it.

Basically it gets the filesize (in bytes)... then displays it as MB, KB or if its not big enough for either of those... it's supposed to display the total in Bytes. But I can't figure out why sometimes it doesn't work right. Any ideas?

code:
 
$File = rawurlencode($File); 
$thefile = "{$config['files']}/$File"; 
// Define some file sizes 
$kb = 1024; // Kilobyte 
$mb = 1048576; // Megabyte 
// Get the file size in bytes. 
$attachmentsize = filesize($thefile); 
//If it's less than a kb we just return the size, otherwise we keep going until 
//the size is in the appropriate measurement range. 
if($attachmentsize > $mb) { 
   $filesize = round($attachmentsize/$mb,2)." MB"; 
} 
elseif($attachmentsize > $kb) { 
   $filesize = round($attachmentsize/$kb,2)." KB"; 
} 
else { 
   $filesize = $attachmentsize." Bytes"; 
}

Then it plugs the $filesize variable into the post just after the download count.

Thanks for your help.... I'm sure this is a breeze for you "pros".

OK -
I actually know what is wrong.

it's not really with my code..... if the Filename has a "space" in it..... it doesn't calculate the filesize.

Does anyone have any idea how you can get the filesize of a file with a space in it. Perhaps it's special characters in general.

I went to one I was having trouble with and took the spaces out of the file field in the database...and renamed the file and it worked fine.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

:)

I think that $File = rawurlencode($File); is the problem. Functions such as filesize() expect the actual file name, not the URL-encoded form.

P.S. I edited your post to remove the leading spaces from the code, so that horizontal scrolling is not required.

Cool!!!

Thank you.

the $File = rawurlencode($File);
was part of threads... but I moved it after my filesize code and that seems to have done the trick.

Thank you!
