简单的函数

function formatBytes($size, $precision = 0){
    $unit = ['Byte','KiB','MiB','GiB','TiB','PiB','EiB','ZiB','YiB'];

    for($i = 0; $size >= 1024 && $i < count($unit)-1; $i++){
        $size /= 1024;
    }

    return round($size, $precision).' '.$unit[$i];
}

echo formatBytes('1876144', 2);
//returns 1.79 MiB

这有点晚了，但一个稍微快一点的公认答案如下:

function formatBytes($bytes, $precision)
{
    $unit_list = array
    (
        'B',
        'KB',
        'MB',
        'GB',
        'TB',
    );

    $bytes = max($bytes, 0);
    $index = floor(log($bytes, 2) / 10);
    $index = min($index, count($unit_list) - 1);
    $bytes /= pow(1024, $index);

    return round($bytes, $precision) . ' ' . $unit_list[$index];
}

它更有效，因为执行一个log-2操作而不是两个log-e操作。

实际上，下面的解决方案会更快:

function formatBytes($bytes, $precision)
{
    $unit_list = array
    (
        'B',
        'KB',
        'MB',
        'GB',
        'TB',
    );

    $index_max = count($unit_list) - 1;
    $bytes = max($bytes, 0);

    for ($index = 0; $bytes >= 1024 && $index < $index_max; $index++)
    {
        $bytes /= 1024;
    }

    return round($bytes, $precision) . ' ' . $unit_list[$index];
}

这是因为由于索引是在计算值的同时计算出相应的字节数的单位。这将执行时间缩短了约35%(速度提高了55%)。

下面是Drupal format_size函数的简化实现:

/**
 * Generates a string representation for the given byte count.
 *
 * @param $size
 *   A size in bytes.
 *
 * @return
 *   A string representation of the size.
 */
function format_size($size) {
  if ($size < 1024) {
    return $size . ' B';
  }
  else {
    $size = $size / 1024;
    $units = ['KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB'];
    foreach ($units as $unit) {
      if (round($size, 2) >= 1024) {
        $size = $size / 1024;
      }
      else {
        break;
      }
    }
    return round($size, 2) . ' ' . $unit;
  }
}

灵活的解决方案:

function size($size, array $options=null) {

    $o = [
        'binary' => false,
        'decimalPlaces' => 2,
        'decimalSeparator' => '.',
        'thausandsSeparator' => '',
        'maxThreshold' => false, // or thresholds key
        'suffix' => [
            'thresholds' => ['', 'K', 'M', 'G', 'T', 'P', 'E', 'Z', 'Y'],
            'decimal' => ' {threshold}B',
            'binary' => ' {threshold}iB',
            'bytes' => ' B'
        ]
    ];

    if ($options !== null)
        $o = array_replace_recursive($o, $options);

    $base = $o['binary'] ? 1024 : 1000;
    $exp = $size ? floor(log($size) / log($base)) : 0;

    if (($o['maxThreshold'] !== false) &&
        ($o['maxThreshold'] < $exp)
    )
        $exp = $o['maxThreshold'];

    return !$exp
        ? (round($size) . $o['suffix']['bytes'])
        : (
            number_format(
                $size / pow($base, $exp),
                $o['decimalPlaces'],
                $o['decimalSeparator'],
                $o['thausandsSeparator']
            ) .
            str_replace(
                '{threshold}',
                $o['suffix']['thresholds'][$exp],
                $o['suffix'][$o['binary'] ? 'binary' : 'decimal']
            )
        );
}

var_dump(size(disk_free_space('/')));
// string(8) "14.63 GB"
var_dump(size(disk_free_space('/'), ['binary' => true]));
// string(9) "13.63 GiB"
var_dump(size(disk_free_space('/'), ['maxThreshold' => 2]));
// string(11) "14631.90 MB"
var_dump(size(disk_free_space('/'), ['binary' => true, 'maxThreshold' => 2]));
// string(12) "13954.07 MiB"

这是我的选择，简短明了:

/**
 * @param int $bytes Number of bytes (eg. 25907)
 * @param int $precision [optional] Number of digits after the decimal point (eg. 1)
 * @return string Value converted with unit (eg. 25.3KB)
 */
function formatBytes($bytes, $precision = 2) {
    $unit = ["B", "KB", "MB", "GB"];
    $exp = floor(log($bytes, 1024)) | 0;
    return round($bytes / (pow(1024, $exp)), $precision).$unit[$exp];
}

或者，更愚蠢和有效:

function formatBytes($bytes, $precision = 2) {
    if ($bytes > pow(1024,3)) return round($bytes / pow(1024,3), $precision)."GB";
    else if ($bytes > pow(1024,2)) return round($bytes / pow(1024,2), $precision)."MB";
    else if ($bytes > 1024) return round($bytes / 1024, $precision)."KB";
    else return ($bytes)."B";
}

function formatBytes($bytes, $precision = 2) { 
    $units = array('B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB'); 

    $bytes = max($bytes, 0); 
    $pow = floor(($bytes ? log($bytes) : 0) / log(1024)); 
    $pow = min($pow, count($units) - 1); 

    // Uncomment one of the following alternatives
    // $bytes /= pow(1024, $pow);
    // $bytes /= (1 << (10 * $pow)); 

    return round($bytes, $precision) . ' ' . $units[$pow]; 
}
