PHP convert KB MB GB TB etc to Bytes


I'm asking how to convert KB MB GB TB & co. into bytes.
For example:

byteconvert("10KB") // => 10240
byteconvert("10.5KB") // => 10752
byteconvert("1GB") // => 1073741824
byteconvert("1TB") // => 1099511627776

and so on...

EDIT: wow. I've asked this question over 4 years ago. Thise kind of things really show you how much you've improved over time!

Based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/17364338/1041470

Improvements:

  • Fixed bug with bytes suffix length,
  • Allowed to use double (float) values but only integers,
  • Reverted array which holds units,
  • Renamed variables,
  • Added comments.
/**
 * Converts human readable file size into bytes.
 *
 * Note: This is 1024 based version which assumes that a 1 KB has 1024 bytes.
 * Based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/17364338/1041470
 *
 * @param string $from
 *   Required. Human readable size (file, memory or traffic).
 *   For example: '5Gb', '533Mb' and etc.
 *   Allowed integer and float values. Eg., 10.64GB.
 *
 * @return int
 *   Returns given size in bytes.
 */
function cm_common_convert_to_bytes(string $from): ?int {
  static $units = ['B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB'];
  $from = trim($from);
  // Get suffix.
  $suffix = strtoupper(trim(substr($from, -2)));
  // Check one char suffix 'B'.
  if (intval($suffix) !== 0) {
    $suffix = 'B';
  }
  if (!in_array($suffix, $units)) {
    return FALSE;
  }
  $number = trim(substr($from, 0, strlen($from) - strlen($suffix)));
  if (!is_numeric($number)) {
    // Allow only float and integer. Strings produces '0' which is not corect.
    return FALSE;
  }
  return (int) ($number * pow(1024, array_flip($units)[$suffix]));
}

I was just looking for this function and took on the challenge to try to improve in it and got it to TWO lines :) Uses a similar regex to Eugene's to validate/extract values, but avoids the switch statement. Can accept long '10MB','10mb' and short '10M','10m' values, decimal values and always returns an integer. Invalid strings return 0

function to_bytes( $str )
{
    if( ! preg_match('/^([\d.]+)([BKMGTPE]?)(B)?$/i', trim($str), $m) ) return 0;
    return (int) floor($m[1] * ( $m[2] ? (1024**strpos('BKMGTPE', strtoupper($m[2]))) : 1 ));
}

Here is a little more cleaned version according to the standards (Using answer above):

/**
 * Format kb, mb, gb, tb to bytes
 *
 * @param integer $size
 * @return integer
 */
function formatToBytes ($size)
{
    $aUnits = array('bytes' => 0, 'KB' => 1, 'MB' => 2, 'GB' => 3, 'TB' => 4);
    $sUnit = strtoupper(trim(substr($size, -2)));
    if (intval($sUnit) !== 0) {
        $sUnit = 'bytes';
    }
    if (!in_array($sUnit, array_keys($aUnits))) {
        return false;
    }
    $iUnits = trim(substr($size, 0, strlen($size) - 2));
    if (!intval($iUnits) == $iUnits) {
        return false;
    }
    return $iUnits * pow(1024, $aUnits[$sUnit]);
}

I know this is a relative old topic, but here's a function that I sometimes have to use when I need this kind of stuff; You may excuse for if the functions dont work, I wrote this for hand in a mobile:

function intobytes($bytes, $stamp = 'b') {
    $indx = array_search($stamp, array('b', 'kb', 'mb', 'gb', 'tb', 'pb', 'yb'));
    if ($indx > 0) {
        return $bytes * pow(1024, $indx);
    }
    return $bytes;
}

and as compact

function intobytes($bytes, $stamp='b') {$indx=array_search($stamp,array('b','kb','mb','gb','tb','pb','yb'));if($indx > 0){return $bytes * pow(1024,$indx);} return $bytes;}

Take care!

Here's a function to achieve this:

function convertToBytes(string $from): ?int {
    $units = ['B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB'];
    $number = substr($from, 0, -2);
    $suffix = strtoupper(substr($from,-2));

    //B or no suffix
    if(is_numeric(substr($suffix, 0, 1))) {
        return preg_replace('/[^\d]/', '', $from);
    }

    $exponent = array_flip($units)[$suffix] ?? null;
    if($exponent === null) {
        return null;
    }

    return $number * (1024 ** $exponent);
}

$testCases = ["13", "13B", "13KB", "10.5KB", "123Mi"];
var_dump(array_map('convertToBytes', $testCases));

Output:

array(5) { [0]=> int(13) [1]=> int(13) [2]=> int(13312) [3]=> int(10752) [4]=> NULL } int(1)

One more solution (IEC):

<?php

class Filesize
{
    const UNIT_PREFIXES_POWERS = [
        'B' => 0,
        ''  => 0,
        'K' => 1,
        'k' => 1,
        'M' => 2,
        'G' => 3,
        'T' => 4,
        'P' => 5,
        'E' => 6,
        'Z' => 7,
        'Y' => 8,
    ];

    public static function humanize($size, int $precision = 2, bool $useBinaryPrefix = false)
    {
        $base = $useBinaryPrefix ? 1024 : 1000;
        $limit = array_values(self::UNIT_PREFIXES_POWERS)[count(self::UNIT_PREFIXES_POWERS) - 1];
        $power = ($_ = floor(log($size, $base))) > $limit ? $limit : $_;
        $prefix = array_flip(self::UNIT_PREFIXES_POWERS)[$power];
        $multiple = ($useBinaryPrefix ? strtoupper($prefix) . 'iB' : $prefix . 'B');
        return round($size / pow($base, $power), $precision) . $multiple;
    }

    // ...
}

Wanting something similar to this and not quite liking the other solutions posted here for various reasons, I decided to write my own function:

function ConvertUserStrToBytes($str)
{
    $str = trim($str);
    $num = (double)$str;
    if (strtoupper(substr($str, -1)) == "B")  $str = substr($str, 0, -1);
    switch (strtoupper(substr($str, -1)))
    {
        case "P":  $num *= 1024;
        case "T":  $num *= 1024;
        case "G":  $num *= 1024;
        case "M":  $num *= 1024;
        case "K":  $num *= 1024;
    }

    return $num;
}

It adapts a few of the ideas presented here by Al Jey (whitespace handling) and John V (switch-case) but without the regex, doesn't call pow(), lets switch-case do its thing when there aren't breaks, and can handle some weird user inputs (e.g. " 123 wonderful KB " results in 125952). I'm sure there is a more optimal solution that involves fewer instructions but the code would be less clean/readable.

I use a function to determine the memory limit set for PHP in some cron scripts that looks like:

$memoryInBytes = function ($value) {
    $unit = strtolower(substr($value, -1, 1));
    return (int) $value * pow(1024, array_search($unit, array(1 =>'k','m','g')));
}

A similar approach that will work better with floats and accept the two letter abbreviation would be something like:

function byteconvert($value) {
    preg_match('/(.+)(.{2})$/', $value, $matches);
    list($_,$value,$unit) = $matches;
    return (int) ($value * pow(1024, array_search(strtolower($unit), array(1 => 'kb','mb','gb','tb'))));
}

Here's what I've come up with so far, that I think is a much more elegant solution:

/**
 * Converts a human readable file size value to a number of bytes that it
 * represents. Supports the following modifiers: K, M, G and T.
 * Invalid input is returned unchanged.
 *
 * Example:
 * <code>
 * $config->human2byte(10);          // 10
 * $config->human2byte('10b');       // 10
 * $config->human2byte('10k');       // 10240
 * $config->human2byte('10K');       // 10240
 * $config->human2byte('10kb');      // 10240
 * $config->human2byte('10Kb');      // 10240
 * // and even
 * $config->human2byte('   10 KB '); // 10240
 * </code>
 *
 * @param number|string $value
 * @return number
 */
public function human2byte($value) {
  return preg_replace_callback('/^\s*(\d+)\s*(?:([kmgt]?)b?)?\s*$/i', function ($m) {
    switch (strtolower($m[2])) {
      case 't': $m[1] *= 1024;
      case 'g': $m[1] *= 1024;
      case 'm': $m[1] *= 1024;
      case 'k': $m[1] *= 1024;
    }
    return $m[1];
  }, $value);
}
