set folder size limit

[Tnen]

hi
how can i give a limit for a folder size im my site

It can be done serverside, but if you're the only one uploading, just don't upload more than you want to? I not sure I got your question right.

Well, in the script that handles uploads, you could calculate the current folder size and check if the addition of the new file will go over the limit. If so, reject the file.

You could use a recersive function that use the filesize function.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filesize.php

Dimitri over there posted this function:

function dir_size($dir) {
   $totalsize=0;
   if ($dirstream = @opendir($dir)) {
       while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dirstream))) {
           if ($filename!="." && $filename!="..")
           {
               if (is_file($dir."/".$filename))
                   $totalsize+=filesize($dir."/".$filename);
              
               if (is_dir($dir."/".$filename))
                   $totalsize+=dir_size($dir."/".$filename);
           }
       }
   }
   closedir($dirstream);
   return $totalsize;
}

I haven't tested it but I guess it will work.
