Question

I’m looking for something that will show me the size of each folder within my main folder recursively.

This is a LAMP server with a CGI-Bin so most any PHP script should work or anything that will work in the CGI-Bin.

My hosting company does not provide an interface for me to see which folders are consuming the most amount of space. I don’t know of anything on the Internet and did a few searches however I came up with no results.

Something implementing graphs (GD/ImageMagick) would be best but not required.

My host supports only Perl in the CGI-BIN.

Strange, I came up on Google with many relevant results and this one is probably the most complete.

The function ‘getDirectorySize’ will ignore link/shorcuts to files/directory. The function ‘sizeFormat’ will suffix the size with bytes,KB,MB or GB accordingly.

Code

function getDirectorySize($path) {   $totalsize = 0;   $totalcount = 0;   $dircount = 0;   if ($handle = opendir ($path))   {     while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))     {       $nextpath = $path . '/' . $file;       if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && !is_link ($nextpath))       {         if (is_dir ($nextpath))         {           $dircount++;           $result = getDirectorySize($nextpath);           $totalsize += $result['size'];           $totalcount += $result['count'];           $dircount += $result['dircount'];         }         elseif (is_file ($nextpath))         {           $totalsize += filesize ($nextpath);           $totalcount++;         }       }     }   }   closedir ($handle);   $total['size'] = $totalsize;   $total['count'] = $totalcount;   $total['dircount'] = $dircount;   return $total; }  function sizeFormat($size) {     if($size<1024)     {         return $size.' bytes';     }     else if($size<(1024*1024))     {         $size=round($size/1024,1);         return $size.' KB';     }     else if($size<(1024*1024*1024))     {         $size=round($size/(1024*1024),1);         return $size.' MB';     }     else     {         $size=round($size/(1024*1024*1024),1);         return $size.' GB';     }  } 

Usage

$path='/httpd/html/pradeep/'; $ar=getDirectorySize($path);  echo '<h4>Details for the path : $path</h4>'; echo 'Total size : '.sizeFormat($ar['size']).'<br>'; echo 'No. of files : '.$ar['count'].'<br>'; echo 'No. of directories : '.$ar['dircount'].'<br>';  

Output

Details for the path : /httpd/html/pradeep/ Total size : 2.9 MB No. of files : 196 No. of directories : 20
