ini_parse_quantity — Get interpreted size from ini shorthand syntax

### Description

ini_parse_quantity(string `$shorthand`): int

Returns the interpreted size in bytes on success from an ini shorthand.

### Parameters

`shorthand`

  Ini shorthand to parse, must be a number followed by an optional multiplier. The following multipliers are supported: `k`/`K` (`1024`), `m`/`M` (`1048576`), `g`/`G` (`1073741824`). The number can be a decimal, hex (prefixed with `0x` or `0X`), octal (prefixed with `0o`, `0O` or `0`) or binary (prefixed with `0b` or `0B`)

### Return Values

Returns the interpreted size in bytes as an int.

### Errors/Exceptions

If the value cannot be parsed, or an invalid multiplier is used, an `E_WARNING` is raised.

### Examples

Example #1 A few ini_parse_quantity() examples

`<?php
var_dump(ini_parse_quantity('1024'));
var_dump(ini_parse_quantity('1024M'));
var_dump(ini_parse_quantity('512K'));
var_dump(ini_parse_quantity('0xFFk'));
var_dump(ini_parse_quantity('0b1010k'));
var_dump(ini_parse_quantity('0o1024'));
var_dump(ini_parse_quantity('01024'));
var_dump(ini_parse_quantity('Foobar'));
var_dump(ini_parse_quantity('10F'));
?>`

The above example will output:

    int(1024)
    int(1073741824)
    int(524288)
    int(261120)
    int(10240)
    int(532)
    int(532)

    Warning: Invalid quantity "Foobar": no valid leading digits, interpreting as "0" for backwards compatibility
    int(0)

    Warning: Invalid quantity "10F": unknown multiplier "F", interpreting as "10" for backwards compatibility
    int(10)
