recurse_dirsize()WP 3.0.0

Get the size of a directory recursively.

Used by get_dirsize() to get a directory size when it contains other directories.

Used By: get_dirsize()
Hooks from the function

Return

Int|false|null. Size in bytes if a valid directory. False if not. Null if timeout.

Usage

recurse_dirsize( $directory, $exclude, $max_execution_time, $directory_cache );
$directory(string) (required)
Full path of a directory.
$exclude(string|string[])
Full path of a subdirectory to exclude from the total, or array of paths. Expected without trailing slash(es).
Default: null
$max_execution_time(int)
Maximum time to run before giving up. In seconds. The timeout is global and is measured from the moment WordPress started to load.
Default: value of max_execution_time PHP setting
$directory_cache(array) (passed by reference — &)
Array of cached directory paths.
Default: value of dirsize_cache transient

#1 Get the full size of the uploads directory

$upload_dir = (object) wp_upload_dir();

// connect the function file
require_once ABSPATH . WPINC .'/ms-functions.php';

$mb = recurse_dirsize( $upload_dir->basedir );

echo number_format( $mb / (1024*1024), 1 ) .' MB'; // print: 74.5 MB

Changelog

Since 3.0.0 Introduced.
Since 4.3.0 The $exclude parameter was added.
Since 5.2.0 The $max_execution_time parameter was added.
Since 5.6.0 The $directory_cache parameter was added.
