Hey all,  
it it possible somehow to get the size of a directory? What I want is an extremely fast and simple code that I save as index.php for example and I put that in a folder lets say into [www.mysite.com/folder. So when I go to [URL=“http://www.mysite.com/folder”]www.mysite.com/folder](http://www.mysite.com/folder) the index.php will print the byte size of the directory, that is the sum of all the files within the directory.  
Thank you.
