Find Amount of Total Disk Space in GB using PHP

To modify the above program to print the total space available in C drive in GB, then use following example:

<?php
   $spaceBytes = disk_total_space("C:");
   
   $spaceKb = $spaceBytes/1024;
   $spaceMb = $spaceKb/1024;
   $spaceGb = $spaceMb/1024;
   
   echo "<p>Total Space available in <b>C</b> Drive is <b>$spaceGb</b> GB</p>";
?>

Now the output should be:

To remove all digits after decimals, then use (int) before $spaceGb. For example:

<?php
   $spaceBytes = disk_total_space("C:");
   
   $spaceGb = $spaceBytes/1024/1024/1024;
   $spaceGb = (int)$spaceGb;
   
   echo "<p><b>C</b> Drive Total Space = <b>$spaceGb</b> GB</p>";
?>
