PHP Human Readable filesize script always returns a “B”
After thinking mine was in error,
I found LOT AT LOTS of scripts the do this:
https://gist.github.com/liunian/9338301
And there are several here at S.O. I used, but had the same annoying "B" as a size.
This issue seemed to rear it's ugly head when I switched to php v7.xxx
First issues is I have to typcase a floated number (or double) or else I get a
"A non well formed numeric value encountered"
After some research, apparently this is NOT a bug. At least that is how I read it.
So after typcasting it, the error goes away but the value returned is always a "B'
filesize = 87.5B (when it should be MB or GB).
I am pretty sure Javascript will work, but would rather keep it with php.
Thanks for looking
current live script that is producing a "B" only
public function readableBytes($size, $type='pc') { //ignore the pc - it is for something else - disabled for debugging
$size = (double)$size;
static $units = array('B','kB','MB','GB','TB','PB','EB','ZB','YB');
$step = 1024;
$i = 0;
while (($size / $step) > 0.9) {
$size = $size / $step;
$i++;
}
return round($size, 2).$units[$i];
}// function readbbleBytes

This is a unique issue to those that use a loop for assigning (custom)template tags with an array field.
The filesize is one of many fields in an array I use.
I used a loop to go through each field and assign it to a template tag.
Not sure why the "B" came up. My suspicion is that the result of a "string" = 0 bytes. Even though It showed the actual size.
edit: spelling & claification
So to fix, in the middle of the loop, I forced the $array['filesize'] = readableBytes($array['filesize'])).
Before it was loop tag = fieldname.
foreach ($arr as $field=>$data) {
$arr['filesize'] = readableBytes($array['filesize'])); // fix was put here
$page = str_ireplace("{$field}", $data, $page);
}

The following seems to work (checked in phptester):
function human_filesize($bytes, $decimals = 2)
{
if ($bytes < 1024) {
return $bytes . ' B';
}
$factor = floor(log($bytes, 1024));
return sprintf("%.{$decimals}f ", $bytes / pow(1024, $factor)) . ['B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB'][$factor];
}
