Re: [videopixel] Downloads: show size of file?

Hi,

There's a PHP function called filesize:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php

This returns the number of bytes in a file. You can determine different unites like this:

EXAMPLE:
$bytes = filesize("file.zip");
$kilobytes = $bytes/1024;
$megabytes = $kilobytes/1024;

Hope this helps

Hi videopixel,

I think what you're after is called a "human readable" file size. Here's an example:

I hop this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
