Size units…

Hi,

I’m using your nice piece of software. Thanks for that.

However, I’m trying to change the way it presents the file sizes.

Your current ‘borrowed’ code:

{
$sz = ‘BKMGTP’;
$factor = floor((strlen($bytes) – 1) / 3);
return sprintf(“%.{$decimals}f”, $bytes / pow(1024, $factor)) . @$sz[$factor];
}

shows for example: (45M), (21K), etc. This was not natural/automatic to read for us (university research group).

I mean, according to the International System I’m using, it’s not ok to show ‘’BKMGTP’’ instead of ‘BytesKbMbGbTbPb, and after the number, there should be a space and then the measure unit:

For example:
(12.54 Mb)
(5 Gb)
(23 Kb)
Etc.

It could be a silly thing, but we’d like to have it like I describe.

I’m not a PHP programmer, and thus I was not able to change your borrowed code, but I found (in the same page where you borrowed yours) a larger piece of code belonging to a Russian-like named guy (sorry for stereotyping him):

{
$bytes = floatval($bytes);
$arBytes = array(
0 => array(
“UNIT” => ” Tb”,
“VALUE” => pow(1024, 4)
),
1 => array(
“UNIT” => ” Gb”,
“VALUE” => pow(1024, 3)
),
2 => array(
“UNIT” => ” Mb”,
“VALUE” => pow(1024, 2)
),
3 => array(
“UNIT” => ” Kb”,
“VALUE” => 1024
),
4 => array(
“UNIT” => ” Bytes”,
“VALUE” => 1
),
);

foreach($arBytes as $arItem)
{
if($bytes >= $arItem[“VALUE”])
{
$result = $bytes / $arItem[“VALUE”];
$result = str_replace(“.”, “,” , strval(round($result, $decimals))).” “.$arItem[“UNIT”];
break;
}
}
return $result;
}

The thing is, your plugin seems to reset itself, trashing my inserted code.

That’s certainly good for your code but not for my humble intentions… 🙂

Could you please do something about the units?

One more extra thing. Could you please add a way to target the links to pop-up windows?

Thanks a lot for your help and understanding.

Best regards,

Fernando.
