Details

`static string bytes( string $bytes, string $unit = 'auto', integer $precision = 2, bool $iec = false)`

Converts bytes to more distinguishable formats such as: kilobytes, megabytes, etc.

By default, the proper format will automatically be chosen. However, one of the allowed unit types (viz. 'b', 'kB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB') may also be used instead. IEC standard unit types ('KiB', 'MiB', 'GiB', 'TiB', 'PiB', 'EiB', 'ZiB', 'YiB') can be used as well.

Parameters

string	$bytes	The number of bytes. Can be either numeric or suffixed format: 32M, 60K, 12G or 812b
string	$unit	The type of unit to return, few special values are: Blank string '' for no unit, 'auto' to choose automatically (default) 'binary' to choose automatically but use binary unit prefix
integer	$precision	The number of digits to be used after the decimal place.
bool	$iec	Whether to be aware of IEC standards. IEC prefixes are always acceptable in input. When IEC is ON: KiB = 1024 B, KB = 1000 B When IEC is OFF: KiB = 1024 B, KB = 1024 B

Return Value

string

The number of bytes in the proper units.
