The size of the folder = sum of size of files + sum of size of
subfolders. See:
dir - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dir.php
fstat - http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fstat.php
and a good tutorial on recursion.

A directory is 4096 bytes long on most Unix versions. But, then,
your real question is not about the directory, it's about files in that

directory, right? If so, here's a possibility:

$dir = '/path/to/files';
$size = 0;
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
$size = $size + filesize("$dir/$file");
}
closedir($handle);
}
echo "Total size of files in $dir: $size bytes";

For more information, see:

http://www.php.net/readdir
http://www.php.net/filesize

Note that the code above totals up only files in the
specified directory; files in subdirectories are ignored.
