In this article I describe the PHP FileSystem functions "disk_total_space", "diskfgreespace", "fclose" and "feof". To learn some other filesystem functions, go to:

echo disk_total_space("C:");
?>

PHP diskfreespace() Function

The PHP filesystem "diskfreespace" function is an alias of the "disk_free_space_function" thatalso returns the available space on the file system or disk partition (in bytes).

Syntax

diskfreespace(directory)

Syntax
